Late Morning Update....The swell is picking up out of the SSE and is clean and straight in the 2-3ft range, it's bigger on the Tweed Coast, D'bah and TOS . The winds are getting stronger from the SSW with strong SSW to S wind later in the day. The tide is coming in now to a high at 5pm. Once again the Tweed Coast, D'bah and TOS picking up more of the S swell and have more size and there are small nice ones on the points on the incoming tide.
John Charlton spreads his time between the Gold & Sunshine Coasts. He’s been surfing this area for many a year and is totally in tune with all the different breaks and how the varying swell and wind patterns affect this wave plentiful region.
An ESE swell of up to 1.5 metres. Take care on the outgoing tide this afternoon. Swim only between the flags with Council Lifeguards and some of the northern end beaches will be closed due to the erosion.
