Updated: 2018-07-19 09:19:00 Surf: bumpy 3-4ft WSW Winds: Moderate SW Weather: rain Rating: 4/10

The change is just moving through and winds have backed off a little and swung more west, but are now picking up again. Plenty of swell but not the best conditions and only for keen and experienced surfers.

2018-07-19 06:57:00: bumpy 3-4ft WSW, Fresh N, showers 5/10

Dawn report: Similar to yesterday morning we've got a window of northerly winds this morning and while not pumping and clean, it's much better than a howling onshore. Swell is strong and 3-4ft and the readings of Cape de Couedic are something to marvel at. Hovering around 7m at 18s and if you haven't seen, search for the video of the swell in Marion Bay last night, insane. Tune back in for the updated photo report around 8am.
