NORTH COAST SURF REPORT 17-05-13

Mere words are not enough to describe how fantastic conditions were on the coffs coast today, but I’ll have a go. Salubrious, superb, spectacular, sensational… Get the idea? Pretty much perfect surf about on most beaches all day with one metre plus of SE swell and light offshore winds early. Even when the wind switched onshore this arvo it was so slight it had little effect on wave quality. Let’s hope these conditions prevail over the weekend as the swell is predicted to rise to two metres. Cheers, noel.
