Woo-hoo waves today

Hello Friends,
Light westerly wind all morning and 1.6 metres of 8-second SE-ESE swell were playing nicely together at the magnet spots. There was a little full tide wobble (high is at 1220), but sets at the best exposures were shoulder to head-high. Air temp was a brisk 13 and water was 18 and looking clean.
Today’s snaps were taken at Long Reef and later, North Curly.
Outlook is for the waves to continue all day and to still be around tomorrow, but likely a bit smaller.
Go well!
