Arvo report: The wind is up and hacking the swell to pieces. Try protected sopts but lower the expectations. The swell is still there and to 6ft across open beaches.

The east swell is strong this morning with easy 6ft sets across the open beaches with more size on the magnets. The tide is rising and winds are going a little more south but working the straight lines is the key. Good luck.

Dawn report: The easterly swell has kicked in overnight and we've got long lined 6ft waves across the open beaches, breaking on the outer bars and reforming into most beaches. The size might come in more with the rising tide so take care and leave it to the experienced. The magnets are also seeing the odd 8ft'er. The next surf report update will be around 9am.
