Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early with light offshore ESE winds, but swell has dwindled overnight. The reefs are picking up ankle slappers and even the odd 1′ set due to the swell direction, but there’s very little energy in it. The dropping tide will snuff it out, but the beachies will have small peelers for learners or a SUP just after lunch. Winds will start out tending E-NE, then shift Northerly during the arvo and add a few bumps. It’ll be very small all day. Shred factor 4/10
Conditions are still lumpy on the South Coast this morning with onshore SE winds around 12 knots. Surf is around 3 – 4′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and 2 – 3′ around at Chiton / Gap. The forecast predicts winds will go light / variable early arvo, and tend more SE-E again toward evening. Exposed stretches will be lumpy all day, but the East in the wind may be OK around at Parson’s later.
It’s a chilly morning on the Mid Coast with a light offshore ESE land breeze, and glassy conditions early. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs, and the tide is coming in until 8am. The dropping tide will kill the swell on the reefs mid morning, but the beachies may pick up a few more waves early arvo heading into low tide. It does look like we’ll probably get a sea breeze after lunch, so conditions may be choppy for much of the arvo. A late shift back to SE winds will clean it up for a Mally wave in the evening. Shred factor 5/10
It’s not looking too flash on the South Coast this morning with onshore SSW winds around 22 knots, and mushy conditions. Surf is around 3 – 4′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and 2 – 3′ around at Chiton / Gap. It’s gonna stay onshore all day today, winds will probably tend more S-SE by late arvo. Middleton Bay might get you out for a grovel after lunch, but you’d have to be pretty desperate. Shred factor 3/10
Winds have just kicked around to a light offshore land breeze on the Mid Coast this morning, but conditions are still bumpy from Southerly winds overnight. There are 1′ waves with occasional 2′ sets on the reefs coming up to high tide at 0730. Winds will probably come up again from the S-SW during the morning, and the dropping tide will kill it a bit after 9am. The lower tide may allow for a grovel on the beachies early arvo. A late sou-easter may clean it up around sunset. Shred factor 4/10
Conditions are fairly clean on the South Coast early, with West winds around 10 knots. Surf is around 3 – 4′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and 2 – 3′ around at Chiton / Gap. Waits and Parson’s will be bigger with wind direction favouring Waits Point. The wind will tend more onshore southerly at around 20 knots during the day, and quality will gradually deteriorate over the next few hours. Middleton Bay might hold out a bit longer than other spots. Shred factor 7/10
It’s raining again on the Mid Coast this morning, and winds are ’round to the WSW at around 10 knots early. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs with occasional bigger sets, but quality is poor with the onshores. The beachies or Seaford will probably offer a grovel around lunchtime, or just as the tide starts moving pack in early arvo. The wind will slowly shift more Southerly during the day, tending SW at around 20 knots for much of it. It’ll be bumpy and 1 – 2′ after lunch. Shred factor 2/10
Conditions are clean on the South Coast early with offshore North winds around 7 knots, and swell lining up well again. Surf is around 3 – 4′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and 2 – 3′ around at Chiton / Gap. Waits and Parson’s will be bigger but probably tending to close out on the sets. The forecast predicts Northerly winds will pick up during the morning, and conditions may become blown out with N-NW winds around 25 knots. Get on it early. Shred factor 8/10
Winds are light from the NNE on the Mid Coast and conditions are clean / peaky early. There are a few 1′ waves on the reefs with occasional bigger sets coming up to high tide just before 7am. The dropping tide will kill it a bit mod morning, but so too will the wind which will pick up from the North. There’ll still be some swell on the incoming tide but surf will most likely be wind effected with 20 knt North winds. The window may be small this morning. Shred factor 5/10
Conditions are glassy with light WNW winds on the South Coast again this morning, and a lift in swell overnight. Surf is around 3 – 4′ along the Middleton – Day St. stretch, with a few bigger sets, and a bit of leftover bump in the swell. It’s glassy around at Chiton / Gap and there are some 3′ waves with bigger sets. Winds look good today, tending NW during the morning and not getting much over 10 knots. The arvo will be more offshore Northerly and that’ll help straighten it up around the Middleton side. An after work dash could be well worth the effort if you can’t get on it this morning.
