BEACHWATCH
Cooler day on the beach after yesterday's change. Onshore winds not too strong making for choppy surf conditions. Only a few small breaks as no real increase likely which will fill on afternoon high.
Swell swinging back to the south at around 1m. Wind from the south to south-east tending east by the afternoon.
Tides going low mid-morning and first up try Cowrie, Dixon, Pogos and Merewether off the rocks. Small break in southern corner of Dudley and to the south try Catho. Lack of swell to the north where it's more protected. Poor visibility in and slight sweeps on run out tide.
Water temperature 21C.
