South magnets for little fun ones
Hello Friends,
This morning started with near-cloudless skies, a light WNW breeze and thanks to an overnight increase in period to 11-seconds, the 1.3 metre south swell was delivering waist to chest-plus sets. Yes, actually. Anything not tuned to the swell direction is just about flat, but at the focal points there’s fun to be had.
Outlook is for waves through the weekend and into next week. If they’re right, Sunday morning should be even better.
Go forth and take your Aloha spirit with you when you paddle out.
