Tiny lines for the very keen
Hello Friends,
Perfect conditions this morning – apart from the near complete absence of waves.
The MHL data from 0600 showed a metre of 8-second SSE wind swell lapping our shores. Wind was 7-10 kts from the west at 0800. Throw in a 1.73 m high tide at 0730, and your only hope is a little shorey peak just off the sand.
Surf prospects don’t look like improving until Saturday, when the models show a meaty 2-3 metre south pulse filling in. I’m keen to see what the Goat will say about the coming surf week. The models look pretty hopeful…
Go well with your day!
