Nice morning, but only weak and little waves
Hello Friends,
There were a few little knee to waist-high wind waves around the place this morning. The rides tended to be pretty short though. Still, the skies were more sunny than not and the wind was out of the WNW at less than 5kts. Swell was 1.3 metres at 8 seconds from the SE, so the north ends are getting the best of it. Wind was light early but should pick up into the 10-15 kt range from the SE later. Might be worth a look in the afternoon at semi-exposed south ends because the Bureau’s saying we could see a little pulse from the SE.
Beyond that, tomorrow’s looking pretty similar to today for the early and then maybe mid-week could see a little uptick as the dominant swell goes more E-NE…
Go well!
