Aftern oon update - Miniscule, onshore junk. Don't bother.Earlier update - After yesterday's warmth we can expect a southerly windshift later. At present winds are light and variable, and the swell is a lacklustre 1ft max. It is tiny and uninviting.Here's hoping the southerly whips something up, as it is not worth bothering right now. Check the Coastalwatch swell forecast.
