Hey everyone, since I've fallen in love with ocean beach (wairarapa) I've been trying to figure out how to have an accurate idea of what the weather is going to be like. This sunday the weather looks pretty good, and I was having a look at swellmap. Only thing is i'm not sure if what it's telling me is good or not. It says that the conditions are good aparently, wind pretty low. It's the swell bit that confuses me. It says a wave of 2m early on and a swell of about 2.2m, and that decreases throughout the day which I have to assume is good. Are the 2m waves and 2.2m swells good? At what point would you say you wouldn't go? E.g 3m? 4m? Cheers for any help, always much appreciated.
