More of the same with another day of very small clean conditions with an E swell in the 1 up to 2ft range and light W winds early that are forecast to be offshore from the WSW all day. The tide is dropping to a low at 8.22am, coming to a high at 2.30pm. Once again it's going to be clean all day with the offshore winds and there are small ones all along the open beaches. Take a board with lots of volume as it is pretty small.
John Charlton spreads his time between the Gold & Sunshine Coasts. Heβs 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.
