Weather Situation

As a high pressure system over the Great Australian Bight extends a strengthening ridge along the southern Queensland coast. Tropical Cyclone Ola over the eastern Coral Sea will move generally south to southwest and weaken. The remains of the cyclone will remain well offshore, but will still enhance the pressure gradient over southern waters leading to strong winds, and will also produce increasingly powerful swell through the next few days.

Winds : Southeasterly 25 to 30 knots.

Seas : 2.5 to 3 metres

Swell :  Southeasterly 1 to 1.5 metres, increasing to 1.5 to 2 metres offshore.

Weather : Partly cloudy. 80% chance of showers inshore, 60% chance elsewhere.

Spinkys’s Best Bet To Get Ya Froth On :

The Sth Easterly swell has picked up some overnight with waves in the 3-4 foot range on the incoming tide , high at 7.52am , with larger set waves along the north , south facing beaches. Get into it early as the winds are light from the Sth West with strong Sth Easterlies predicted throughout the day. The points of inside Moffats, Pt Cartwright, The Bluff and Corner at Alex, with the southern stretch of Maroochydore looking good. The points of Noosa will have a few small cleaner waves as the strong Sth Esat winds pick up and as the tide drops out…The patrolled beaches of Noosa and Mooloolaba the pick of the beaches for a dip in the briny. The water temp at 25c. Enjoy your day in the waves. Ýo
