LEFT over swell from the weekend to provide some nice clean waves for the morning's run out tide. Favourable tide for the early with breaks at most beaches and reefs. Swell from the South at 1.5m decreasing to 1m. Wind light and variable N/W to West tending S/E to East. Plenty to choose from but still quite a few in the water first up.Try Nobbys, Flatrock, Bar Reef and the banks at Cliff and Dixon off the car park. Burwood, Redhead and Frenchmans to the south. Boxy and Buribi up at Port Stephens. Swimming conditions clean and clear in with water temp 18C.
