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.
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.
The NSW lifesaving patrol season ended on Sunday 28 April, however Salt Resort main beach is still patrolled by lifeguards 7 days a week. Byron Main Beach will be patrolled by lifeguards 7 days a week until 9 June, 2013.
Please do not take any risks during the off-season period. No Flags = No Swim! The majority of beach patrols will again commence on the first day of the September School Holidays.
