Rain

Report - 2m SW swell. Light onshore SE winds

Given today's conditions who cares when the tide is. No waves and onshore with rain almost all day.

Not a lot to report in South Arm recently. There has been a bit of swell, but the banks are not what they were.

This surfer even had to resort to North Clifton yesterday, where there are a few good banks and some nice waves.

The outlook for the next few days is not great, so may have to wait for the weekend before any decent swell arrives.

Waves again

Report - 2m SW swell, light SE - SW winds. 10.44 low tide.

The official report for swell seems at odds with what is actually out there. There has to be some east in the swell as there are some quite large waves coming in at RSL's, but seems pretty small elsewhere. Some of them were even holding up for a few turns this morning before the wind and low tide.

I suspect with the easterly that boneyards and maybe even swansea - orford had waves, but with too many responsibilities wasn't able to make it myself today.

Flat Spell

Report - 1m SW swell. Light N winds. 10.00 am High tide.

1m sw = dead flat. You could waterski on the South Arm beaches today, and there is no real good swell on the way either.

there has been a few decent waves at sandpits in the right tide and wind, but otherwise it seems the summer weather pattern is just about set in for a while. meaning small waves and long drives to spots that catch the swell better than round here.

Some waves today at Eaglehawk, but the NE swell should be dying out as well.

get in the car and go searching.

Windy

Report - 2.5 - 3m Sw Swell. Nw winds. 10.10am low tide.

Things were pretty flat and unsurfable up until yesterday, when the swell picked up. ENE onshore in the morning, but the wind swung to the north mid afternoon and there was good waves at Sandpits and Goats. At least up until it turned to an offshore gale.

For the Tasman and east coast the wind finally went westerly today with good overhead at EagleHawk.

The swell is increasing through tomorrow, with the trick being to get the right balance of swell and tide before the wind goes onshore. Then its predicted to stay SW for a few days.
