The swell has backed off from the small pulse yesterday morning and is small, straight and clean out of the SSE in the 1-2ft range, it's a bit bigger on the Tweed Coast, D'bah and TOS . The winds are fresh SSW early and are forecast to go stronger from the S later in the day. The tide was high at 5am, dropping to a low at 11am. Once again, the Tweed Coast, D'bah and TOS picking up more of the S swell and have more size and there are small ones on the Goldie points on the dropping tide.
