Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early with East winds around 3 knts, but even smaller swell this morning. There are only ankle slappers hitting the reefs and the sets wouldn’t even be a foot, with the tide heading out until 1120. The lower tide will only offer learner waves on the beachies, and a sea breeze will start to pick up soon after. It’ll be near flat and bumpy after lunch. Shred factor 1/10
Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early with East winds around 12 knts, and a few small lines of swell. Surf is still only 1′ on the reefs, and the tide’s heading out until 1050. The lower tide might offer some peelers on the beachies, but a sea breeze looks like it’ll kick in not long after lunch. The arvo will be bumpy, and probably no bigger than this morning. Shred factor 3/10
SE winds are around 7 knots and conditions are clean on the Mid Coast, but it’s small again. Surf is still barely a foot on the reefs, and it’s probably not gonna get much better as it fights the slow drain of the outgoing tide. The lower tide will favour the beachies but it’ll only provide learner waves or small peelers for large, buoyant surfboards. There’s sharks pretty much everywhere, and a fresh southerly wind will kick in after lunch and chop it up. So that’ll pretty much be it for the day. Shred factor 2/10
South winds around 7 knots are adding a bit of a wobble on the Mid Coast this morning, and swell is probably the smallest it’s been in a week. Surf is barely 1′ on the reefs, and there’s a minor low tide at 0940. There’s not much movement in the tide all day, but there is an afternoon peak at 3pm. We should see a few lines of new swell begin to sneak in after lunch, but with Southerly winds around 20 knots, quality will be pretty poor. The Southern end of South Port will offer some protection and small waves toward sunset. Shred factor 3/10
Winds are light from the SE and conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early, with the same small swell hanging around. Surf is about one foot on the reefs, coming up to a minor high tide at 0930. There’s not much movement in the tide at all, and the wind will have a greater effect on conditions overall. The forecast is for S-SW winds up to 20 knots after lunch, so it’ll be bumpy until the evening land breeze kicks in. Swell will probably fade during the day. Shred factor 5/10
Southerly winds around 10 knots are adding bumps on the Mid Coast this morning, with the same small swell we’ve seen all week. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs and nowhere looks that great, coming up to high tide at 0847. The dropping tide won’t change much, but the lower tide may mean a few more waves on the beachies mid arvo. It’s going to stay bumpy pretty much all day with South winds up around 15 – 20 knots later. The breeze should swing back to a sou-easter and clean it up a bit heading toward sunset. Shred factor 4/10
Winds are around to the SE on the Mid Coast at around 10 knots early, and conditions are clean with a bit of southerly wobble in the swell. Surf is similar size to the last few days, around 1′ on the reefs with occasional bigger sets, and the tide peaking at 0815. The dropping tide will kill it a bit at high tide spots, but the lower tide will favour the beachies early arvo. Winds are forecast to tend Southerly later this morning, then SSW at up to 20 knots after lunch. Exposed stretches will become bumpy, but you’ll find partial shelter down the Southern end of South Port beach in the evening. Shred factor 5/10
It’s glassy with no wind on the Mid Coast again this morning, and there’s even a few lines of swell still hanging around. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs with occasional bigger sets, coming up to high tide at 0750. The current situation may be short lived with strengthening NW winds on the way, ahead of a gusty W-SW change early arvo. Onshores may get up around 30 knots later today and it’ll whip up some wind swell, but it probably won’t develop into a full-blown stormy. Messy 2′ is more likely, with winds easing into the evening. Shred factor 6/10
Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early with light NE winds, and a few lines of swell still sneaking in. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs with occasional bigger sets, similar to yesterday. The tide peaks around 0720 and it’s already pretty full, and the outgoing tide will kill the high tide spots mid morning. The lower tide at lunch will favour the beachies, and there should still be a few waves on the incoming tide after lunch. The forecast is for light / variable winds and a possible sea breeze ( and bumps ) after lunch, but don’t be surprised if it just glasses off. Shred factor 5/10
Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early, with offshore ESE winds around 10 knots. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs with occasional bigger sets, and the tide peaking around 7am. The outgoing tide will kill the high tide spots mid morning, but the lower tide at lunch will favour the beachies. Swell may lift a bit on the incoming tide after lunch, but winds are forecast to tend Southerly at 15 – 20 knots, so it’ll be bumpy. A lats Sou-easter may tidy it up a bit. Shred factor 5/10
