The wind has swung offshore on the South Coast for the start of the weekend, slightly unexpected as the BoM was going with fresh ENE winds this time yesterday. The swell is trying to straighten up but it has a ways to go, with NW winds at 15 knots early. Surf is still 4′ at Middleton and similar size along the Day St. / Surfers / Goolwa stretch. It’s semi-clean, kinda lumpy though. There are 4′ slabs pushing in at Knight’s but it’s also pretty funky around that side, the Dump has some smaller waves. Waits and Parson’s will be pretty mental and probably best left to their own devices this morning. The wind *should* stay out of the North, NE-NW and in the 10 – 20 knots range – possibly stronger gusts at times, dropping almost to nothing at others. Some new swell will push in after lunch, and it could be 5 – 6′ by evening. Worth keeping an eye on in case any of those swell magnets light up late arvo.
