Swell: 3-5ft (1.00-1.60m) waist to occasional shoulder height

High Tide: 2:05pm - 1.47m

Low Tide: 7:53pm - 0.57m

Water Temp: 19 C

A nice day of light winds and a reasonable amount of swell to round out the week. A few options across the island for anyone who is keen.

Smiths has a few fast-breaking peaks this morning that will improve through the day with the best time being during the afternoon (although more advanced surfers will also be able to enjoy the morning and evening).

The open beaches are still quite wobbly but will have options for advanced surfers who are prepared to work hard in order to get more size.

The Cat Bay area will be really clean and will have a few playful options. There will likely be lots of people surfing as everyone is rolling into town for the Cat Bay Classic which is running tomorrow.

Enjoy your day! :)
