Looking like a lake this morning with tiny, clean conditions with a SSE swell that is flat to 1ft. Light WSW winds early that are forecast to be offshore from the WSW all day. The tide is dropping to a low at 9.20am, coming to a high at 3.35pm. It's ripple riding only with a board with lots of volume and a good imagination on the more open beaches.
John Charlton spreads his time between the Gold & Sunshine Coasts. Heβs been surfing this area for many a year and is totally in tune with all the different breaks and how the varying swell and wind patterns affect this wave plentiful region.
