Winds are light from the East and conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early, but flat. High tide is at 0730 but that information is academic really, as it won’t make any difference. The beachies will only manage ankle slappers through low tide early arvo, and the reefs won’t be much bigger once the tide starts pushing back in after lunch. The breeze will shift more SW-S and pick up to around 15 knots, adding bumps. You’ll be waiting for a miracle today. Shred factor 1/10
Light NNW winds are already pushing a few bumps down the gulf, not that it matters much with no swell. Surf is barely shin high o n the Mid Coast, and as the wind picks up and the tide drops, it won’t get any better. N-NW winds may get up around 20 knots this morning ahead of a SW-S change sometime after lunch. The change will bring bumpy conditions but no real swell in the short term. The breeze should go Southerly and ease 10 – 15 knots by late arvo, possibly even SE just before dark. Surf will remain small. Shred factor 1/10
Winds are light from the SE and conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early,with a few small lines of swell. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs with occasional bigger sets, and it’s pretty full just coming through high tide. The outgoing tide will kill it a bit mid morning, but the lower tide will probably help the beachies with some small waves through the lunch hour. Winds are forecast to possibly go NE, then light / variable early arvo, with a sea breeze possibly adding bumps later. Surf will remain small. Shred factor 3/10
Southerly winds around 10 knots are adding a bit of a bump on the Mid Coast this morning, but there is some actual ground swell underneath it for the first time in over a week. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs with occasional 2′ sets, and it’s a bit full with the morning tide just peaking. The dropping tide will kill it a bit after 8am, but the low tide will favour the beach breaks through the lunch hour. S-SW winds up to 20 knots will keep it bumpy through the arvo, with a late shift back to an evening land breeze and cleaner conditions. Shred factor 4/10
It’s cooler on the Mid Coast this morning with Southerly winds around 10 knots adding a bit of a bump. Surf is still small at around 1′, and it’s pretty full just coming off high tide. Nothing much will change as the tide head out, apart from the wind picking up a bit. The beachies will only offer small bumps through low tide, and the reefs won’t be much better after lunch on the incoming tide. SSW winds up to 17 knots will maintain bumpy conditions for most of the arvo, until a late evening sou-easter kicks in. Shred factor 1/10
Winds are light from the ESE on the Mid Coast early and conditions are clean, with a few very small lines of swell. Coming off high tide at 5am there are a few shin high waves on the reefs with occasional 1′ sets. The dropping tide will kill it mid morning, although the beachies will have some tiny peelers through low tide at lunch. Southerly winds will pick up during the morning and add bumps, but an evening sou-easter should smooth it off again. Shred factor 3/10
Winds are tending NNE on the Mid Coast early and conditions are clean, but tiny. Coming off high tide it’s dead flat again, and that situation won’t change in the short term. The breeze will swing more Southerly late morning, and the beachies might manage some tiny peelers through low tide at lunch. The incoming tide may see a small lift in swell, but it’t unlikely to be more than knee-high by evening. Winds should be back to a sou-easter by then and conditions will be clean. Shred factor 0/10
Winds are light from the ESE and conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early, but it’s as flat as a lake. There’s barely a ripple anywhere along the coast, and the tide is slowly draining out until lunchtime. Low tide is very low today so it’s a good opportunity for some reef hoping or a snorkel on Port Noarlunga Reef. The forecast is predicting winds will shift to the South this morning and add a few bumps after lunch, but surf will remain a non-event. Shred factor 0/10
Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early with light offshore ENE winds, but again only tiny swell. Waves are barely shin-high on the reefs this morning, with the tide slowly draining out until 1140. Even the beachies will struggle to break through low tide today, and nothing much will change as the tide heads back in after lunch. The forecast predicts winds may pick up a bit mid morning from the North, only to drop out and glass it off again after lunch. It’s the first of a run of very hot days so it’ll be nice in and on the water, but surf will remain a non-event. Shred factor 1/10
Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early with offshore East winds around 7 knots, but swell is struggling. There are only ankle slappers on the reefs this morning, and a dodge tide won’t do it any favours either. Winds are forecast to pick up later this morning from the SE initially, then possibly more Southerly at 20 knots after lunch. It’s also possible winds will just remain out of the SE all day, keeping it fairly smooth. Surf, sadly will remain small to flat. Shred factor 1/10
