La Perouse is looking a bit stirred up today, not quite the glassy morning we usually hope for at the end of the road. That 17.6 mph E cross-shore wind is definitely going to be noticeable, especially around the lava entry, and the small 1-2 ft surf won't help settle things down. The estimated visibility today is 20-30 ft, which is a bit lower than its usual pristine best for this remote bay.
