South Coast

** AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF SURFSOUTHOZ, PLEASE READ! **

Southerly winds overnight have left a bit of a wobble, but winds are light from the East and it’s glassy on the South Coast early. The swell is still marginal with surf around 1 – 2′ along the Middleton- Goolwa stretch. Waits and Parson’s will be slightly bigger, Parson’s will favour the wind. By late morning the onshores should be back and up around the 17 knots mark by early arvo. It’ll resort to small mush after that and stay that way until sunset. Check the latest surf forecast to see if the Xmas lead-up looks any better.

Mid Coast

** AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF SURFSOUTHOZ, PLEASE READ! **

Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early with light East winds, but as you’d expect… it’s flat again. High tide at 0715 is a biggie, not that it matters with zero swell hitting the full-tide reefs. The outgoing tide after 0830 won’t change anything, but again the low tide early arvo will expose a lot of reef. The usual sea-breezey southerly should have kicked in by then, and the arvo will only offer small chop. High tide is 7:44pm, and by then the wind should be back to the SE. It’ll still be flat.

South Coast

Conditions are actually not bad on the South Coast early this morning, there’s actually a bit of a land breeze early from the North and it’s kinda glassy. Sadly there’s not a lot of swell and it has some leftover wobble, and wave heights are only around 1′ at Middleton. There are occasional 2′ sets along the Day St. – Goolwa stretch. There are also rare 1 – 2′ waves around at Chiton, you just have to sit and wait. Waits and Parson’s will offer something more for short boarders, both will be clean-ish early but both will be affected by the wobble, As the wind tends more East it’ll favour Parson’s. By late morning a Southerly will probably have kicked in, and the rest of the day will be onshore and messy. Check the latest surf forecast to see how tomorrow is looking.

Mid Coast

Conditions are glassy on the Mid Coast early with no wind, but also no waves. There is a slight wobble on the sea surface from SSE winds yestrday and the tide is pretty full, but there’s just no swell getting into the gulf at all. The outgoing tide after 0730 won’t change anything, although low tide at lunch will expose a lot of reef which is always fun for a bit of a treasure hunt. By lunchtime the wind will probably be from the South, and the now-standard choppy afternoon will follow with 15 knot SSE winds. Surf will remain a non-event today, but it’ll be nice for a swim or a snorkel somewhere. Check the latest surf forecast to see how tomorrow is looking.
