Tue 6th...3-4ft surf with light north easterly offshore winds. Beautiful well defined lines, perfect conditions, good swell. The wind is expected to remain blowing from an easterly offshore direction all day with very little effect on the quality of the surf, great surf all day. Wall to wall sunshine, but with an air temp that will remain low, very cold!

Enjoy your surf, stay safe. If you're not sure about the conditions, ask for advice!  If there are no lifeguards on the beach of your choice, ask for advice in the surf, or surf hire shops, also check out the surf schools. Note...there are no lifeguards on the beaches throughout the winter period

Some surf schools are still operating, mainly at the weekends, as well as teaching surfing, the lessons also include expert advice and tips on weather, surf and beach conditions and water safety.
