Map still looks good. Might come in a bit late if they get the early shower in the morning. Swell is solid enough to make it worth while. Friday is a bit didgy on the swell, much stronger wind forecast...

Upper SE - which is more accurate for Robe: "Southerly 10 to 15 knots, becoming south to southwesterly 15 to 20 knots during the afternoon and reaching 20 to 25 knots inshore. Winds turning southeasterly 20 to 25 knots in the evening.".

Also I have a catalogue of about 25 maps from goods days rated with temp, swell, actual strength and actual direction etc to draw from...

Bit light and small early but came in solid 25 knots @ 4:30pm. With half mast to logo high sets with just the right breaks between. Worth while for sure!
