Wild Coast

Wavescape Ocean Watch (WOW)

(Spike, Friday 3 February 2012)

Milder but still marginal onshores Friday puffing a steady 10kts, worse by Slumtown. Lumpy 4' lines on points. Saturday the onshores builds, with fresh NE going strong. Smeared and nasty. Goes chopped white horse and hoof melange. There is swell, maybe 3-4' but goes to waste. The onshore keeps on keeping on Sunday with fresh to strong breeze, tho easing in the west. Surf starts to push 4-5' in arvi, but wind is not great. Monday dawn patrol clean in 3' lines, but NE lurks and window may shut quick. Mushy early, blown to bits later. Tuesday and the screaming seas accompany the sound of evil maniacal laughter. Krrrer-ching! Saw VIX.
