Dirty big low down south should push some swell up into NSW for sure. It must be big down Vicco now.

There's a little trickle out of the south here now but it should pick up in the next day or two. We've had 60 knots of wind here last night. I thought our roof was going to come off.

The Bay isn't really breaking yet, so it's not super solid, at the moment. We will wait for daybreak though !

I'll be happy with 1 big set wave at Bells with the 9'0 !! It might be windy and wooly though.... That's why I might be happy with 1 quick solid wave.... Take it all the way back to shore....

Forecast for Central Bass Straight - Great Torquay Area
Forecast for Saturday
Winds: Westerly 30 to 40 knots. Seas: 3 to 4 metres increasing to 4 to 5 metres around midday. Swell: Southwesterly up to 7 metres.

This usually means a slightly lumpy swell, but best in the protected corners....
I will get photos though Mac !

The wind is up here also. The swell is kicking in now too !

I might just have a muck about on a protected wave. Stiff off shore makes it hard work to paddle into the big ones. Shifty lumpy peaks on reefs too... So not many good rides happening.... One of those days where you need to be happy with 1-3 good ones, and plenty of paddling, and a couple on the head !
