Sunshine Coast: Partly cloudy with a 70% chance of showers, mostly in the morning and a top temperature of 28 degrees

Swell: 1m Easterly

Tides: Mooloolaba: High @ 9.34am … Low @ 3.40pm … Snapper Rocks: High @ 9.18am … Low @ 3.20pm  

Best waves: If the wind forecast is right, it looks like the cleanest waves will once again be on the points and in the bays on the north side of the headlands at Noosa, Mooloolaba, Burleigh, Kirra, Greenmount and Rainbow Bay

Best Beaches: It’s looking like a better day for the beach, especially on the Gold Coast. The safest beaches for a swim will be in the bays at Noosa, Mooloolaba, Burleigh, Kirra, Greenmount and Rainbow Bay. On the ebb tide from mid morning to mid afternoon, any rips and sweep working around the inshore holes and gutters will be enhanced as the water drains off the beach, particularly along the open stretches. Swim in the patrolled areas marked by the red and yellow flags
