Aftern oon update - Miniscule, onshore junk. Don't bother.Earlier update - After yesterday's warmth we can expect a southerly windshift later. At present winds are light and variable, and the swell is a lacklustre 1ft max. It is tiny and uninviting.Here's hoping the southerly whips something up, as it is not worth bothering right now. Check the Coastalwatch swell forecast.

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!
