Surf Report

Date: Friday, 9 May, 2008 6.25am

Swell: 2 - 4ft S @ 8.0sec

Wind: W @ 8kts

Comments: Offshores back with us, out of the W to WSW at 8kts or so. Swell has backed off, down to a consistent 2ft to 3ft with bombs. 0.3m low tide is a problem, lotsa closeouts, water movement and even some backwash. The age old question, leave it for more water and risk the onshores or go now and put up with the slop? (or you can just go to work like me!).

Have a good trip Phil & Phil.
