Wavescape Ocean Watch (WOW)

(Spike, 2.28pm, Monday 21 May 2012)

Points firing or out of control 6-8' in fresh leftover busterlies Monday improving to epic conditions in arvi as the west goes light. Classic. Tuesday would be fun 4-5' but the NE wind puffs to ruin a good thing. Better conditions in S towards Slumtown tho. Wednesday glassy and smooth to light W to E variable in soft 1-3' bumps. Swell gone now. Thursday same size (small) in soft west, going light NE to SE, moderate later. Friday ugh. Blown out ugliness.
