Updated: 2018-10-23 07:10:00 Surf: peaky 2ft ENE Winds: Light and variable NNW Weather: fine and sunny Rating: 3/10

If only we had morning low tides. The swell is super full and fat and either breaking on outer banks and going fat or just a small peaky shorey. It's clean and around 2ft, but you'll need a big board or a great high tide bank.

2018-10-23 05:36:00: clean 2ft E, Light and variable NW, fine 3/10

Dawn report: Light winds and clean and slightly lumpy conditions this morning as well as being quite full. The swell is only small with a leftover 2ft of easterly swell, best suited to bigger boards. Tune back in for the updated photo report around 8am.
