Lunchtime Update....The winds are from the S at around 10 knots and the SSE swell is in the 2 up to 3ft range. The tide is coming in to a high at 9.45am, dropping to a low at 3.20pm. The points have some nice small ones on the dropping tide and are the pick with D'bah and TOS having more size. Swell is still a bit straight for the beachies.
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 E swell of up to 1 metre. Take care on the outgoing tide this afternoon. Swim only between the flags with Council Lifeguards.
