Super tiny but there are bumps
Hello Friends,
This morning saw a metre of SSE (166°) swell at 8 seconds apart out at sea. As the pictures show, there are ankle to knee and a bit high sets turning up at the beach – but not the point. This is in line with the Bureau’s forecast, which also tells us to expect the energy levels to likely fade back into the unsurfable range later as the NW wind picks up on what should be a sunny Friday.
If you’re wondering about the outlook, well, may I suggest you have a gink at the Goat’s fresh new forecast.
Have yourself a good one, and take the mask with you for those occasions when you’re likely to be near others.
