Good peaky waves out on the coast with a light offshore wind and consistent 3fters, with the odd bigger one across the back beaches. It's well worth getting a surf in this morning.

Dawn report: Another fun morning out on the exposed beaches this morning with the swell coming in more from the east and being a lot more organised compared to early yesterday. A consistent 3ft, with the odd bigger one across the magnets. Tune back in for the updated photo report around 8am.
