Warnings for today

None

South-facing rocky shoreline protected from north through northwest swell. Wide open to south through southwest energy which slams directly onto the reef at high to near-full strength. South-southeast leads at high exposure. Southeast and east-southeast see moderate to low exposure. Entries are manageable in winter but hazardous during summer south swells. The thermal vents nearby can create warm patches, but the real hazard here is the powerful surge over shallow rocks.
