Category: Mid Coast

Winds are from the East at around 5 – 7 knots on the Mid Coast early, and conditions are clean early. Unfortunately swell has too much south in it and waves are barely even breaking on the reefs, with  the tide is heading out until 1130. The lower tide will favour the beachies late morning, but hopefully the incoming tide will provide a bit of a pulse early arvo. The breeze will swing to the South after lunch and may add a bit of a bump before dropping to 5 knots in the evening. Shed factor 1/10

Winds are from the NW at around 5 – 7 knots on the Mid Coast early, and conditions are clean with a bit of a Northerly bump in the swell. There are half a foot waves on the reefs with rare 1′ sets, getting no help from today’s dodge tide. A SW-S change will roll through during the morning and winds will pick up to around 15 knots after lunch. We’ll get a few bumpy 1′ waves later but quality and size won’t be that tempting. A late shift back to SE winds may open up the possibility of small Mally waves in the evening. Shred factor 2/10

There’s no wind on the Mid Coast early, and conditions are clean and glassy, but virtually flat again. There are some tiny lines of distant swell generating shin-high waves on the reefs, but to all intents it’s unsurfable. High tide’s at 0920, but it only moves about half a meter all day and won’t have much effect. The bureau of Met predicts winds will pick up from the North this morning to around 10 – 15 knots, then NW  ahead of a trough that will briefly turn winds to the SW. Surf will remain tiny all day, and winds will possibly drop out again in the evening.

Winds are just a puff from the North on the Mid Coast early, and conditions are clean – but pretty much flat. Surf is barely ankle high on the reefs, and the tide coming in until 0910. It’s not gonna get any better once the tide starts heading out, although light winds will mean it stays clean for most of the morning. Sea breezes are forecast for the arvo, and they’ll probably kick in around midday adding bumps. Surf will remain non-existent.

 

Winds are from the East at around 7 – 10 knots on the Mid Coast early, and conditions are nice and clean – but small. Surf is barely 1′ on the reefs with a fair wait for the sets, and the tide coming in until 0845. Nothing mich will change once the tide starts heading out, winds may almost drop out and make it glassy mid morning before the sea breeze arrives at lunch. The arvo will be bumpy with Southerlies around 15 knots, a small lift in swell is possible in the evening.

Easterly winds are gusting around 25 knots on the Mid Coast early, and while conditions are clean, it’s pretty breezey on the water. Swell has dropped a bit overnight but there are still occasional 1 – 2′ waves on the reefs – you’ll just have to wait for them. The tide is still coming in and peaks around 0820, then heads out until mid arvo. The swell will probably back off some more with the tide late morning, and winds will kick around more to the SSE adding bumps from mid arvo onward. Shred factor 5/10.

0930 update: The tide’s starting to move out but there’s still some fun waves about, sets have been chest high all morning and really consistent. Some other reefs will come into play later this morning with less water, but don’t leave it too late – fresh Southerlies will probably get into it by early arvo.

Winds have backed off overnight and swung more to the SE early at around 7 knots, and conditions are cleaner on the Mid Coast this morning. There are a few 1′ waves on the reefs with some bigger sets, and the tide still coming in until around 8am. It might get a bit full at some spots around high tide, but it’ll mean the wave window will probably remain open until 9ish. The dropping tide will kill it a bit late morning, and the lower tide will favour the beachies early arvo. Southerly winds will pick up during the day and add bumps after lunch, but there should be small waves all day.

Winds have backed off on the Mid Coast overnight and swung more to the South early, but conditions are still pretty bumpy. Coming through high tide surf is around 1′ on the reefs with some bigger sets, it’s also very full. The dropping tide may improve a few spots, but mid morning the water draining out of the gulf will kill it a bit. The beachies will have bumpy waves through low tide at lunch, and so will the reefs on teh incoming tide later. Southerly winds up to 20 knots will keep it bumpy most of the day, a late sou-easter should clean it up a bit in the evening.

There’s no wind and conditions are glassy on the Mid Coast early, with small lines of swell coming up to high tide. There are occasional 1′ sets on the reefs early, but only spots that can handle a lot of water are breaking. The dropping tide will probably snuff it out a bit mid morning, but it’ll also probably get a bit bumpy from N-NW winds. The beachies will have bumpy waves through low tide early arvo, and the reefs might manage some mally waves on the incoming tide later in the arvo. The Northerlies will probably kick in soon-ish, and are forecast to pick up and tend more NW ahead of a SW change mid arvo.

Offshore East winds are around 17 knots on the Mid Coast early, and conditions are clean – but still pretty much flat. The gulf is just going through high tide so it’s very full, but the dropping tide will make no difference to the (no) wave situation. The beachies will only have ankle slappers through low tide at lunch, and the reefs won’t be much bigger on the incoming tide after lunch. Winds may go a bit sea-breezey for the arvo but most likely tend SE and keep it fairly clean all day.
