Late Morning Update... Small fun waves about with light SSW winds and the swell still small and clean from the ESE in the 1-2ft range. There is the chance of a sea breeze this arvo. The tide is coming in to a high at 4pm. Once again the Tweed Coast, D'bah and TOS picking up more of the S swell and have a touch more size and there are small ones all the coast with the offshore conditions.
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 ESE swell of up to 1.5 metres. Take care on the outgoing tide this afternoon. Swim only between the flags with Council Lifeguards and some of the northern end beaches will be closed due to the erosion.

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!
