Swell size: 0-1ft SSE
Morning Update....If anything it has got even smaller during the morning, it is only in the 0-1ft range on the more open beaches now. Very light SSW winds now, that are forecast to go SW to strengthen from the NNW later. The tide is dropping to a low at 11.35am. The Tweed Coast, D'bah, the far N end beachies and TOS picking up a bit more of the S swell, but it is barely ripple riding this morning. Take a board with lots of foam.
