BEACH WATCH
Some clean waves for the morning before the seabreeze kicks in midday. There is an early high tide which will suit the inner reefs before beach breaks improve as tide runs out to a late morning low. Swell from the S/E at around 1m. Wind light N/W to North tending N/E. First up try the reef breaks at Cowrie, Bar Beach and Merewether. Banks at South Bar and Cliff best towards mid morning. Redhead, Frenchmans and Moonie to the south. Buribi and Samurai up at Port Stephens. Waters clean and clear in and beaches sanding up in southern corners. Water temp 18C. - Dave Anderson
