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.
