Building southerly swells with moderate to fresh SW winds, so not a great spread of favourable conditions for the south swell magnets but wave heights are slowly building. Aim for the afternoon when there'll be more size.

Dawn report: There's a new south swell building across the coast but it's pretty uninspirational right now. Exposed south swell magnets have slow 2-3ft sets, elsewhere it's tiny. Keep your expectations low, but we should see a touch more size into the afternoon. The next surf report update will be around 9am.
