Protected spots have a small to tiny wave running with the dropping tide but for all intents and purposes, it's best left for beginners and logs.

Dawn report: The exposed beaches are a no go this morning with a southerly change whipping through. Protected spots have a little north-east wave but it's full and for bigger boards. Most would call it a lay day. The next surf report update will be around 9am.
