At 7.10 a.m:
Constantine (2*): 4 feet
Rain clouds are galloping away as a harsh, northerly blow sweeps the leftover remnants of Summer into a chilled and sand-swept but sunny autumn morning. That noisy northerly is bullying a lumpy four feet and bigger of roaring and tumbling surf as it bounces into the bays too, just reminding us that even though the water is pleasantly warm, winter is knocking at the door!
Harlyn (2*): 3 feet
Strong northerly winds are screeching into Harlyn this morning, swirling sand across the bay and chopping the three feet of already broken and messed up surf.
It’s not at its prettiest this morning and you’d have to be keen to want to get in but the water is warm and the sky has cleared.
I don’t know how long that will last though!

Surf Forecast for Tuesday 27th September 2022
Another day of cold north westerly winds is going to test your desire to surf today with all of our local surf breaks being wind battered and choppy, at best.
We can expect the surf to build in size through the day but that wind will destroy any shape that we would hope for at all of our local surf breaks.
The far coast might be interesting though?
Surf Conditions for the Start of the Week
Distant Atlantic storms will be pushing thick and lumpy swells our way this week but north westerly winds will be battering any shape out of those sizeable but relatively gutless waves.
The winds will be pushing some fairly chilly and mixed weather our way too, testing the water companies’ PR ability to keep justifying their continued water restrictions in the midst of some prolonged and drenching downpours.
So, a wild and woolly, chillier period of big but not that strong surf is upon us, the strong winds and sizeable surf sweeping and cleaning our bays while re-setting the sandbars and surf breaks of our craggy little coastline in readiness for those grinding autumn swells when they do arrive!
In the meantime most surfers on this coast will be checking conditions over on the far coast, these winds will be offshore over there – if there’s enough swell!
Stay safe, stay happy, stay well and have a great week, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing!
