Spinkys’s Best Bet To Get Ya Froth On :

The E/SE winds are strong early, which have made a mess of the E/SE swell. The open beach breaks wind affected with waves in the 3 foot range, some larger set waves on the south facing stretches. The tide is high early at 6.48am, with low at 1.15pm. Stick to the east facing points and as the tide drops some fun waves on Noosa’s points..The patrolled beaches not looking great along the open beaches, with Mooloolaba and Noosa the best. The water temp at 25c. We should be seeing an increase in swell size over the next few days. Enjoy your day in the waves. Ýo
