Very small surf fun to learn on

Dawn-to-Midday: 1-2ft surf and light onshore breeze this morning and it will be a decent morning for novices/surf lessons. The best banks will have something for the floatiest boards as the tide drops back towards lunchtime but don't expect much.

Afternoon Outlook: swell energy holds this afternoon/evening and will be warming up into a decent beach day. Fun little waves to learn on but you could be tempted in on the log in the sunshine.
