Rain arrived on the Mid Coast early this morning, there’s been showers on and off with NNE winds around 10 – 15 knots. Swell has continued to fade, and surf is only ankle high this morning and peaky from the wind. It’s unlikely the beachies will have much through low tide, and with Northerly winds in the 15 knot range all day the incoming tide won’t be special either. A late shift to onshore Westerly winds will add bumps toward sunset. Shred factor 1/10
Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early with light NE winds, and for the third day in a row still a few lines of swell sneaking in. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs with occasional bigger sets, coming up to high tide at 0645. The dropping tide will kill it a bit mid morning, so too will the wind as it tends more Northerly and picks up. The beachies will have peaky waves through low tide at lunch, but North winds around 15 knots will add a few bumps on the reefs throughout the arvo. Slim chance the breeze will ease toward sunset. Shred factor 6/10.
Winds are light from the ENE and conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early, and there’s still a few lines of swell sneaking in. Surf is around 1 – 2′ on the reefs, coming up to high tide at 0620. The dropping tide will kill it a bit mid morning, but the beachies should start to work through the low tide at lunch. Again the reefs will have waves on the incoming tide after lunch, and light NE winds will keep it clean all day. Shred factor 7/10
Winds are light from the ENE and conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early, with a few lines of swell sneaking in. Surf is aroind 1 – 2′ on the reefs, just coming off high tide. The dropping tide will kill it a bit mid morning, but the beachies should start to work through the low tide at lunch. The reefs should see bit of a pulse on the incoming tide after lunch, winds are forecast to be light and variable, but may waft onshore from late morning to mid arvo. There’ll be waves all day today.
Swell has built a bit over the last 24 hours, but the Mid Coast is still in an onshore airstream and conditions remain bumpy. Surf is around 2′ on the reefs with the tide just starting to head out, and low at 1130. The lower tide will favour the beachies with winds easing, and the arvo should see improving conditions with light / variable winds and a possible late glass-off. High tide’s at 1740, so with some luck the reefs will have a few OK waves later. Shred factor 4/10
Winds have switched to onshore mode on the Mid Coast early, and conditions are messy with a WNW breeze around 15 knots. Surf is around 1′ on the reefs with occasional bigger sets, and the tide starting to head out. The lower tide will favour the beachies late morning but it’ll only be a grovel with winds remaining onshore all day. Swell may lift a bit on the incoming tide after lunch. Shred factor 2/10
There are still a few small lines getting in on the Mid Coast this morning, and swell is a similar size to yesterday. Winds are light from the ESE and conditions are clean, with waves around 1′ on the reefs and occasional bigger sets. The tide peaked earlier and is now heading out, and consistency will suffer after 8am. The low tide will favour the beachies mid morning, but the reefs will probably get a small push once the tide starts back in early arvo. S-SW winds may com up and add a few bumps around lunchtime, going back to a sou-easter late arvo / evening. Shred factor 6/10
Winds are light from the ENE on the Mid Coast early, and conditions are clean with a lift in swell overnight. The reefs are picking up 1′ waves and swell is nice and straight, but the lines are all close together and it’s battling the dropping tide. High tide was at 5am and the lower tide late morning will favour the beachies. The incoming tide will hopefully see wave heights lift a bit, 10 – 15 knot winds are forecast from the S-SE tending more SE later in the arvo. High tide’s at 1645, light Southerlies may add bumps early arvo. Shred factor 5/10
NW winds around 10 – 15 knots are adding bumps on the Mid Coast this morning, and it’s not looking too flash with the outgoing tide. Surf is messy and around 1′ on the reefs, and low tide is a 1010. Swell should lift a bit on the incoming tide, but NW winds will hang in there at least until lunchtime. There is some good news though, with winds expected to drop out and become light / variable mid arvo. High tide’s at 1630. Shred factor 2/10
It’s raining on the Mid Coast again this morning, and conditions are clean with ENE winds around 10 knots. Unfortunately swell remains small, and surf is still only ankle high on the reefs. There’s a low tide around 0945, then the tide comes in until 4pm. The forecast predicts winds will remain out of the N-NE in the 10 – 15 knot range most of the day, before shifting NW late arvo or evening. Surf will remain small to flat all day. Shred factor 1/10
