Swell but ESE wind too

Hello Friends,

At 0800 the ESE wind that has been blowing since yesterday evening was 8-11 kts along the beaches. As the pictures show, the ocean was pretty choppy as a consequence. Which is too bad given that TC Dovi was slinging us 2.2 metres of 9 second ESE-SSE swell. Wave faces on the bigger sets were overhead at the point and along the beach. Problem was that the line seemed to be too long for the beach, and most of the bigger ones were just shutting down. The rugged conditions weren’t putting off a healthy Sunday crowd though. Tide hit a 1.6m high at 0705 and is currently dropping back to the low at 1400.

Outlook is for the swell to fade gradually over the next 24 hours or so, but right now it looks like we might get some fun ones tomorrow morning with, hopefully, less choppy surface conditions.

If the bumpy choppiness doesn’t put you off, there should be any number of options around the place today. And the water is a boardy friendly 25C.

Have a great Sunday everyone!
