It’s looking pretty good on the South Coast this morning, with light offshore North winds lining up a well defined swell. Surf is around 3′ along the Middleton – Day St. stretch, and the odd bigger set down toward Cliffs / Goolwa. There are 2′ waves around at Chiton / Gap, and more size around at Waitpinga and Parson’s. The forecast looks good for this morning, but a Southerly change is expected sometime later today. Hopefully it won’t come until evening, and it’ll remain clean and offshore all day.

Winds are Westerly at around 5 – 10 knots on the South Coast this morning, and conditions are glassy with a bit of a westerly wobble in the swell.  It’s bigger today with surf around 3′ along the Middleton – Day St. stretch, and the odd bigger set down toward Cliffs / Goolwa. There are 2′ waves around at Chiton / Gap, and more size around at Waits / Parson’s with wind favouring Waits. The breeze should tend more NW and offshore during the day, and swell looks like it’ll kick  a bit later. The arvo could be very good, so it won’t hurt to wait a few hours. Shred factor 7/10

Conditions are fairly clean again on the South Coast this morning after the cool change, with light westerly winds. Swell is still on the small side with surf around 2′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and a bit bigger for shortboaders around at Waits and Parson’s.  The wind direction  will favour Waits over Parson’s. The forecast predicts W-SW winds at 15 – 20 knots for the rest of the day, so exposed stretches may become bumpy but sheltered spots won’t get enough swell to break. We should see a return to offshores and a new swell through the middle part of the weekend. Shred factor 7/10

Winds are offshore from the NNE at around 10 knots and conditions are clean again on the South Coast. Swell has eased overnight with surf around 1 – 2′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and a bit bigger for shortboaders around at Waits and Parson’s. The wind will stay offshore all day today in the 15 knot range, but swell won’t get any bigger. The breeze will kick around to the West at 20 knots late arvo as a front crosses the coast. Shred factor 7/10

winds are light offshore from the NNE and conditions are clean again on the South Coast. Swell has eased overnight with surf around 3′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and a bit bigger around at Waits and Parson’s.  It’s gonna stay offshore all day today, but the forecast predicts NE-N winds may get up around 20 knots after lunch. Hopefully it won’t be strong enough to blow it out, and keep the swell nicely lined up all day. Shred factor 8/10
 

Once again it’s looking good on the South Coast with light NE winds and clean, well defined swell. Surf is up around 4 – 5′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and 3 – 4′ around at Chiton / Gap. It’s gonna stay offshore and clean all day today, NNE winds may get up around 15 knots later but that won’t do it any harm. Enjoy another classic spring day. Shred factor 8/10
 

Looking good on the South Coast again this morning early with light NW winds and clean, solid swell. Surf is up around 4 – 5′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and 3 – 4′ around at Chiton / Gap. Winds are looking pretty good all day with Nor-westers in the 10 – 15 knot range tending N-NE aftre lunch at similar strength. Get amongst it!
 

It’s looking OK on the South Coast early with light WNW winds and clean conditions. Surf is around 3 – 4′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and 2′ around at Chiton / Gap.  Waits and Parson’s will be bigger, the West in the wind will favour Waits Point with the main part of the beach closing out. Winds are looking pretty good all day with Nor-westers in the 10 – 15 knot range forecast for after lunch. Swell will also build over the next 24 hours.  Shred factor 8/10
 

It’s looking OK on the South Coast early with light West winds and clean conditions. Surf is around 2 – 3′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and 1 – 2′ around at Chiton / Gap.  Waits and Parson’s will be bigger, the West in the wind will favour Waits up the point end. The forecast predicts W-SW winds for the rest of the day, so conditions will become a bit bumpy as the wind tends more onshore. Middleton Bay / Point may be OK later but the best of it will be early this morning.
 

There’s no wind on the South Coast early and conditions are clean, with a bit of leftover Easterly wobble in the swell. Surf is around 3 – 4′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, and 2′ around at Chiton / Gap. Waits and Parson’s will be bigger and probably closing out on the larger sets, the East in the wind will favour Parson’s slightly. The forecast predicts SE-S winds at 10 – 15 knots for the rest of the day, so the arvo will be lumpy. Grab a few quick ones this morning before the wind comes up. Shred factor 7/10
