Wavescape Ocean Watch (WOW)
(Spike, Friday 3 February 2012)
Ugly easterly beasterly pushes Friday to shore. A nasty two day blow kills the weekend. Saturday is equally damaged as strong onshores smear the sea into soup and chopped white horse and hoof melange - signs of 3-4' groundswell but all to waste. But it all changes come Sunday as a proper 4 if not 5' groundswell arrives in light NW or calm, and classic morning. Redemption song. Oh pirates just a rabbi sold eye to the merchant ships. Wooo. The minutes are whatever. Monday the onshore is back but light lump and ok in morning at times, otherwise mildly mushy. Surf 3-4' easing. Tuesday onshore pumps. Sound of evil maniacal laughter. Krrrer-ching! Saw VIII.

Thanks Warrick. You must have looked at the exact time it was updated. I see it´s all up and running again. (Amping to get some surf myself, just got back to J-Bay after a two week stint in KZN and leaving for CT region next week.)
:(
Eastern Cape East report is returning an error, and link via "Related Content" is also not available.
Cheers
Warrick
once we get the new site sorted, ie, the nuts and bolts, and the server up and running, we'll turn to polishing up with printing, PDF, send to friend, rss news feeds, customising pages, and all the good stuff.
regards
