BEACH WATCH
Fresh onshore winds mean we're not in for the best of days along the coast. Swells slowly dropping and surf conditions to be choppy and tending to close out on the long guttered shorebreaks at most beaches. Try Merewether off Ladies and the shorebreak. South Bar and Cowrie towards high. Southern corner of Catho down the coast and One Mile to the north. - Dave Anderson
