Wavescape Ocean Watch (WOW)
(Spike, Friday 10 February 2012)
Busterly westerlies bust away Friday to scour out a nice 4-5' groundswell that is increasingly overlaid by wind-manked 3-4' SW mish mash. Saturday dawns with the meat of the frontal swell having arrived in the night. Coast heaving with 8-10' wind- and groundswell mixed up together, herded by the schizoid antics of a rabid sheepdog named NearGale West. Wind and swell ease (a bit) all day, but remain ragged and out of control. Sunday the wind still too strong at 20kts+ and the storm surf subsides from 6-7' early to 3-4' later, losing two seconds of period. Monday stunning surf day with ebbing 4' leftovers (open coast) in clean offshores easing to even lighter. Nice. Tuesday lekker little pulse 3-4' in super kiff light W offshore. Naas.
