Wind forecast to build today. Maybe just enough swell for competition at the moment and due to build through tonight. Wind about 10 knots SW at the moment and all sailors meeting at Gowlane at 3pm for the next briefing.

Waves waist-high. A few people wobbling out on 5.8s, and a few pros going paddleboarding. Wind still forecast to increase.

First few rounds of Amateurs completed but wind has completely dropped. Swell getting bigger... On hold.

Tuesday morning: Waves tiny - knee-high, occasionally waist. 4.5-5.0 cross-off (very off) wind. Amateur final about to go... Scott Mcdowal vs Niall (local guy)

Amateur final finished. Very difficult to find waves. Looks like Scott may have got that as Niall struggled to find a good wave... Ladies up next. And pros in 2 heats' time. Though conditions look dubious for the pros.

Mullen and Murray advance against Ten Hoeve and Lewis. Mullen on 5.3. Waves very inconsistent.

Proffitt and Woods go through against Archer and Gardner. Proffitt on 5.8 and 85, and comments there was a fair bit of luck involved in wave selection.

Next heat abandoned due to lack of wind and waves. Hope that waves will build again as tide turns. On hold...

Still on hold. Wind picking up but waves still small... Everybody having lunch after early start this morning and potential late finish. Drizzle with occasional sun.

Action about to start again. Wind pretty strong - 4.5 to 5m weather - but waves still pretty tiny. Starting with amateurs again shortly, then pros when the waves build as the tide comes in.

Amateurs are running slowly through double elimination, but waves aren't getting any bigger. Not enough for the pros yet... Wind is strong enough though, 4.7s about right. Niall and Adam Sims currently on the water to see who sails against Scott Macdowell

Adam Sims through to sail against Scott. On the water and pretty close so far. Looks like Davy Edmiston fought his way through the masters double to reach the final. To be sailed next. Still not enough waves for the pros...

Looks like Macdowell lost to Simms so they have to sail again to decide a winner...

The pros completed round one in very small waves and fading light. Unofficial result (to be confirmed) puts Proffitt 1st. Timo, Skye and Horrocks were the other three sailors in the final. Chance of more competition tomorrow afternoon.

OK, we're on again. Pretty windy 4.5 weather, shoulder-high waves in the sets but pretty flat in between. Straight into pro double elimination. 2 jumps 2 rides with 10 minute heats...
