Updated: 2018-10-24 14:59:00 Surf: bumpy 6ft SW Winds: Moderate S Weather: fine and sunny Rating: 5/10

Afternoon report: Much better conditions in protected spots with the lower tide and more swell. Only for experienced surfers though.

2018-10-24 08:12:00: bumpy 5-6ft SSW, Moderate WSW, fine 4/10

Plenty of swell around although it's wind effected on the surf side. There's a good chance for clean but smaller waves around the top end. The beginner beachys will have some size to them today which may be another option.

2018-10-24 06:10:00: bumpy 5-6ft SW, Fresh SSW, partly cloudy 4/10

Dawn report: Not a good day for the exposed beaches and reefs, but with this wind and swell combo we'll be looking at going for a little drive. Hopefully it keep building. Tune back in for the updated photo report around 8am.
