Yeew!! Who doesn’t love a long weekend! The conditions look really nice for learning all weekend with high tide in the early afternoon!
Friday 6th February
Swell - 1.2 - 1.4m
Wind - 10 - 15knts South West
High Tide - 1.53pm
Low Tide - 7.54am
Friday looks like it will be a really nice day for learning, beginners should have a lot of success on the mid tide in the morning or again in the afternoon as the tide drops out.
Beginners - The mid tide coming in will probably be the best option (9am onwards). I also think it will be really nice just after high tide (2pm - 4pm). Expect really nice white water for learning!
Look Out!! Avoid the low tide early.
Advanced Beginners - The mid to high tide will be best, 11am - 2pm looks like it will have some nice little reforms.
Look Out!! The current has been strong if you're paddling around. Keep an eye on your marking on the beach.
Intermediates - Mid to high should have some good options, I'd be going in anytime from 11am - 2pm.
Look Out!! Keep an eye out for the current.
Saturday 7th February
Swell - 1.5m
Wind - 10 - 14knts South
High Tide - 2.27pm
Low Tide - 8.30am
Very similar to Friday, expect good waves for learning most of the day, just avoid early and late.
Beginners - Like Friday, 10.30am onwards should be best! Expect the odd powerful wave on the high tide (1pm - 2pm) so if you like your waves more mellow come out for 10.30am - 2pm.
Look Out!! Avoid the low tide before 10am
Advanced Beginners - Again like Friday, High tide will be really Fun. 11am - 3pm should be best.
Look Out!! Pick where you surf carefully and remember to keep an eye out for the current.
Intermediates - There will be fun options on the high tide.
Look Out!! The lower tide won't have much happening and might be gnarly so avoid it.
Sunday 8th February
Swell - 1.6m
Wind - 11 - 18knts South West
High Tide - 3.02pm
Low Tide - 9.07am
A weekend of similar conditions! The beginner waves will be fun from about 11am onwards!
Beginners - 11am - 5pm is the best option. So fun waves for learning all day!
Look Out!! Avoid the the morning low tide (before 10.30am).
Advanced Beginners - 1pm - 5pm should have really fun reforms for advanced beginners.
Look Out!! Avoid the morning low tide.
Intermediates - Maybe there will be a fun reform on the high tide, 2pm - 4pm could be good.
Look Out!! Avoid the Low.
