Local swell starts to arrive just as the sun goes down, much as was forecast. The peak swell (1.7m) was around midnight but the next day (1.1m) was up to shoulder high at Schnappers and should have been at least as big here. A lovely spot. Note that waves seem to suffer just after high tide when the flow out of the estuary becomes strong.
