Sunday sunny with waves for all
Hello Friends,
It was partly cloudy at 0900 along the beaches this Sunday morning. There was a faint 3-4 kt NW breeze texturing the surface as 1.2 metre 6-second ESE delivered set waves into the shoulder high range. As usual, the beach was a bit bigger and more consistent than the point.
You’ll want to get down to the beach sooner rather than later. The swell is running out of pep and there’s a 70% chance of showers as the day goes along.
There might be a few little waves again tomorrow morning, but from the look of the swell models, it’s shaping to be a small to marginal week ahead…
Have a great Sunday!
