The SSE swell is rising and is in the 2-3ft range early and the winds are fresh SSW, with gale force SSW winds forecast for later in the morning. The tide is high at 8am, dropping to a low at 1.45pm. Smaller ones on the points are the pick early with D'bah and TOS having more size and they are well worth the effort. Go early before the gale force SSW winds swing into action.
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.
