Conditions are clean on the South Coast early with 5 knot NW winds and another well lined up swell. Surf is around 2′ along the Middleton – Day
St. stretch, with inconsistent bigger sets down toward Cliffs and Goola. Waits and Parson’s will be bigger on the sets sets, and winds will favour
Waits for the better part of the day. Winds will be westerly all day, tending more onshore SW for the arvo. The best of it will be in the next few
hours.
Winds are light from the ENE and it’s clean and glassy on the Mid Coast early, with a few lines of WSW swell still sneaking in. Surf is around 1′
on the reefs with occasional 2′ sets coming off high tide, with low tide just after 11am. The forecast predict winds will turn SW after lunch and pick
up, so it looks like the arvo will be bumpy. Swell should stick around , but the best of the quality is right about now.
Conditions are nice and clean on the South Coast this morning with light offshore Northerly winds, but swell has continued to ease. Surf is only around 1 – 2′ at Middleton, maybe a tad bigger on the sets down toward Cliffs and Goolwa. Waits or Parson’s will be better options for shortboarders at around 2′ with occasional bigger sets early. The forecast predicts N-NE winds up to 20 knots later, but mostly in the 10 – 15 knot range, and possibly easing a bit mid arvo. Swell will remain small.
NNE winds are around 10 – 15 knots on the Mid Coast early, and conditions are semi-clean and peaky. There’s not much of yesterday’s little swell left, with only shin-high waves on the reefs and a wait for rare sets. The dropping tide and Northerlies will not help it any this morning, but there may be some little peelers on the reefs after lunch on the incoming tide. Winds should drop mid arvo, and we may even get another glass off heading toward evening.
Offshore winds have finally returned to the South Coast this morning, with a very light Northerly and swell lining up much better. Surf is around 3′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch,1 – 2′ around at Chiton / Gap, and should be closer to 3 – 4′ around at Waitpinga and Parson’s. The forecast predicts N-NE winds around 10 knots all day, so it’s looking good for the remainder. Weather looks tops as well… get amongst it.
It’s chilly on the Mid Coast early with light ENE winds and glassy conditions, and a few small peelers rolling in. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs, but heading toward low tide at 0930 it’s fairly inconsistent. The beachies will offer small Mally waves through low tide, and there’s a chance it’ll lift a bit once the tide starts moving back in mid morning. Light winds should keep it clean up until about lunchtime, when a weak sea breeze may add a few bumps. High tide is at 1540.
South winds are back to around 5 knots on the Mid Coast this morning, and the swell is still carrying a bit of a bump from the last few days. Surf is around 1 – 2′ on the reefs, and it’s a dodge tide today. The forecast predicts winds will remain out of the South all day at around 10 knots, possibly shifting to the SE late arvo / evening. Swell will probably ease a bit and sets will be
less regular after lunch.
Winds are from the WSW at around 15 – 20 knots on the South Coast this morning, and exposed stretches are bumpy and a bit blown out. Surf is still around 3 – 5′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, 3′ inside the Bay, with part sheltered 2 -3′ surf around at Chiton / Gap. Waitpinga and Parson’s will be bigger but probably too raw and out of control. The forecast predicts SW winds easing back to 10 – 15 knots by mid arvo, but it’ll be onshore and a bit messy for the better part of the day.
Nothing much has changed overnight on the Mid Coast, with onshore WSW winds around 20 knots and choppy / stormy conditions this morning. Surf is around 2′ on the reefs, coming up to high tide at 0830. The outgoing tide won’t have much effect, but lower water will favour the beachies mid arvo. There’s barely 10cm of incoming tide tonight so the same amount of water will cover the reefs from about 1pm until dark. Winds are forecast to shift more Southerly and ease 5 – 10 knots by late arvo.
