Lunchtime update - Winds kicked from the SE and the ESE swell is on the make. Choppy 2-4ft and rising. Earlier report - Pretty ordinary conditions this morning, and thats being glass half full. Onshore SE winds and around 1-2ft of SE swell making for uninviting beach and surf conditions. Oh yeah and did i mention the rain? Very hard to justify why you would bother going for a surf this morning. The swell should slowly increase in the next 24-48 hours. Check BM's latest swell forecast.
