Windswell builds some more. Strong winds mean less than ideal conditions but OK for time of year.
Moderate southerly winds at dawn and short period windswell trying to redevelop. The shape and quality looks pretty bad as the tide drops early this morning so I'd wait versus trying to find something now.
There should be some chunky windswell waves on offer this afternoon with the mid to higher tide so that's when I'd look to try to find something to surf. Conditions will be choppy and disorganized with the strong southerly winds, but it could definitely be worse.
