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.

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.

South Coast

The dismal run continues on the South Coast this morning with onshore South winds at 15 knots making a mess of it. There are 2 – 3′ lumps between Middleton and Goolwa and The Bay looks surfable at a pinch. Chiton and The Gap are offering 2′ of mush, and Waits and Parson’s will offer you a double scoop of mush. The wind will stay onshore all day today and remain in the 15 – 20 knot range. Swell may even be smaller after lunch. Surf forecast will be updated later today with the weekend outlook. Sit tight.

It’s onshore again on the South Coast this morning with SSW winds at 15 knots making a mess of it. Surf is in the 3′ range between Middleton and Goolwa, but it’s not looking awesome anywhere along that stretch. There are bumpy 2′ waves around at Chiton / Gap, Waits and Parson’s will be bigger but no cleaner. The wind will stay onshore and probably be up around 20 knots through the middle of the day. Waves heights won’t change much. Surf forecast will be updated tonight.

South Coast

Onshore SSE winds are masking amess on the South Coast this morning, but the swell is bigger at least. There are 3′ waves along the Day St. – Goolwa stretch, but it’s all over the place and lacking any decent shape. Chiton / Gap are similarly wind affected at around 2′. Waits and Parson’s will be bigger, but it’ll be mush around that side. The swell will probably lift after lunch, but with SSE winds at 20 knots it won’t be pretty. It’ll stay amess for the rest of the day.

South Coast

Onshore SW winds have arrived on the South Coast overnight, and conditions are bumpy early. It’s also very small, with surf only around 1′ along the stretch from Middleton – Goolwa. Waits and Parson’s will be bigger, Waits might offer partial sheltered up toward the point – but not for very much longer. Strong Southerly winds are expected to arrive soon, and gusts might be up to 30 knots by late morning. The whole coast will be a mess not long after the wind arrives, and it’ll stay that way. The swell should lift after lunch, but quality looks very poor. Check the latest surf forecast to see how the rest of the week is shaping up.

Seas are smooth and glassy on the Sout Coast this morning with very light North winds, but the swell is tiny. There are a few 1′ waves at Middleton and rare 2′ sets down toward Cliffs and Goolwa, but it’s mostly struggling to break. Waits or Parson’s are about your only hope for a shortboard wave this morning. The wind will probably pick up from the North to maybe 15 knots, but it won’t be all that strong. It also looks like dropping out again after lunch, possibly glassing off again ahead of a late Southerly change. Swell will remain small all day today. Check the latest surf forecast to see how the new week is shaping up.
