Focal points for waves this morning
Hello Friends,
Wave energy is being felt at very specific focal points as the 1.4 metre, 10-sec period SSE swell rolls in this morning. Long stretches of the beaches are unsurfably tiny, but here and there it’s coming together to produce shoulder to head and a bit sets. Basically, if you found waves somewhere yesterday, start your hunt there. Tide’s high at 0850 and then back to low at 1455. Wind should be NW all day, but the swell’s set to dial back as we go along. However, tomorrow could see another little pulse up at those south magnets. Beyond that, Monday looks like being okay too, but as the NW’ly wind regime continues and the south swell hangs in there at the magnets. Tuesday could see a solid 2-3 metre south pulse, but with heaps of south wind, cloudy skies and rainy periods. Wednesday currently looks like having some residual south energy, better weather and lighter, but still onshore wind.
Anyway, have a great day and stay well!
