The number one is Saturday morning Sept 19: a solid 6-foot swell out of the NW at 13 seconds, glassy conditions with an ENE breeze under 5 mph, hitting a combined energy of 1279 units – that’s the one you’ll tell your mates about.
Saturday 12th – Saturday brings a tiny 0 ft swell with a weak 8 second period and cross air – only 72 energy units. Not worth a paddle.
