Lunchtime Update.....The swell has picked upa bit from the SSE to be in the 2ft range, around 1ft the S corners and bigger on the far N end of the coast. The winds are light SW now and are forecast to go strong SW to S later. The tide is coming back in to a high just before 5pm. Most of the S swell is offshore, just some small ones along the open E facing beachies with more size from Coolum to A Bay before the strong S winds get up.
John Charlton spreads his time between the Gold & Sunshine Coasts. He’s 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.
All major Sunshine Coast beaches are patrolled by lifeguards from 7.30am untill 4.30 pm. Take care and follow any warning signs and follow any directions given by Lifeguards. Remember for your safety always swim only between the RED &YELLOW flags. Ensure you swim when Lifeguards and Lifesavers are on duty and don't swim after hours.
NO FLAGS = NO SWIM.
