It’s looking good again on the South Coast this morning with light offshore North winds and well defined swell. Swell is up a tad with surf around 3′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch with the odd bigger set, and 2′ around at Chiton / Gap.  Waits and Parson’s will offer a bit more size, possibly closing out on the bigger sets. You’ll want to get on it this morning, the forecast predicts winds will be light and variable for a few hours before switching to onshore SE-S at 10 – 15 knots. Conditions will become bumpy / sloppy once the onshores kick in, and options will be limited. Shred factor 8/10

Surf around is 2 – 3′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, with 1′ surf at Chiton and Waits and Waits / Parson’s probably a bit bigger.

Surf around is 2 – 3′ along the Middleton – Goolwa stretch, with Waits and Parson’s a bit bigger and Parson’s favouring the East in the wind. The forecast predicts Easterlies around 10 knots through the middle part of the day, so we may even see a bit of summer lumpiness in the swell.
