Just turning onshore at 1030
Hello Friends,
Finally managed to grab a few pics at south Curly as the wind swung from the NW to the east. There were waves thanks to a 1.8 metre, 9-second south swell. Although the high tide peaked an hour earlier, the waves still had soft quality to them and the rising onshores weren’t helping. The swell’s been dropping for the last day or so and it’ll just get smaller through tomorrow. But it should pulse back up on Friday to around the height it was this morning before the wind chewed it up.
Gotta run, catch you tomorrow!
