BEACH WATCH
Light winds with high pressure off the coast. Surf to remain small and the mornings high tide will effect the consistency. Only a few shorebreaks and try the inner reefs for the early surf. Swell around to the East to S/E at 0.5m to 1m. Wind North to N/W tending S/W. Only a couple of options first up with Cowrie, Bar Beach and Merewether breaking better. Banks at South Bar and Cliff. Burwood, Redhead and Fraser to the south. Buribi up at Port Stephens. Swimming conditions are good with a warmer current and clean and clear in. Stay between the flags and water temp 19C. - Dave Anderson
