Spinkys’s Best Bet To Get Ya Froth On :

The small swell continues with waves in the 1-2 foot range. Light winds from the N/NW which will strengthen to 15/20 knots ahead of a Sth Easterly change this evening. Tide is high just before 8am, with low at 2.15pm. The northern beach stretches showing alot more promise, however don’t expect too much. Coolum through to Sunshine, Twin Waters and along the Kawana stretch. An increase in swell from the E/SE in the next few days coupled with fresh E/SE winds. The patrolled beaches all looking good with the mild surf conditions, a very hot day forecast for the coast with temps in the mid 30’s. Be sun smart, swim between the red and yellow flags. The water temp at 25c. Enjoy your day in the waves. Ýo
