Mid Morning Update.... The swell has dropped a bit since dawn with the dropping tide and it's a bit wobbly now after a few rain squalls It's out of the ESE at 4-5 ft. and the winds are predicted to go ESE later. From Snapper to Kirra is by far the pick now. Check out the latest Coastalwatch swell forecast.

Surfing Mums meet here!
Surfing mums is a network of women who surf and are mums (of course), but what sets them apart is that they still want to surf as much as we did before they had kids. Its not about how well you surf, or if you are a long boarder, short boarder, bodyboarder, body surfer or learning to surf. It's about getting wet and having fun!
