Summer Strikes Back

Report - 1.5m wsw swell. Westerlies all day. Tide - not so important

Its been back to average to nothing again this week. After the previous weeks epic surf, its kind of hard to take.

The east coast is looking up early next week and there should be some nice groundswell from TC Wilma currently moving south from Fiji to NZ.

get the guns ready and be prepared to travel.

Swell Drought Broken

Report - 2m SE. Easterly Sea Breeze. 8.30 High (very high at 1.46m)

Finally swell has arrived. Its got lots of East in it, so I assume that Clifton is rather small whilst RSLs is well overhead, making it just too big really.

But Wedge is on, its even handling the sea breeze fairly well, but will likely get a bit mushy as the day goes on. Expect more of the same tomorrow morning, but get in early to beat the sea breeze.

Those willing to burn fossil fuels this week, and get up early should also have scored good waves somewhere along the East Coast this week. Its basically been at least 2 ft (or sometimes 5ft) and offshore right up until today. Even now with the SE swell the protected NE corners will be ripping.

flat and onshore

With such terrible conditions theres no real need for a report.

It looks likely to continue for at least this week.

there is swell on the east coast, but howling onshores.

A perfect time to hit the west coast though. A week of offshore winds.

New Year

Report - 2m SW swell. Light ESE winds. 9.00am (approx)high tide

Its basically flat today.

The week starter out with a few waves around if you managed to beat the onshores and low tides. There are some marginal banks at North Goats and Sandpits.

The corner at RSL's produced some rebound wedges, but the swell with lots of west in it hasn't really been getting in there.

Unfortunately the swells all gone around south arm for this week.

Around town there are holiday makers everywhere with boats and jet skis. Should be all back at work at work next week, then we can have our town back.
