Gold & Sunshine Coast Report issued at 5.35am Sunday 28th April 2024

Weather Forecast: Partly cloudy, with 70% chance of showers, most likely from late morning through the afternoon and a top temperature of 25°

Wind Forecast: 10kts S/SW early, becoming 10-15kts SE during the morning

Swell: 0.75-1m Easterly

Tides: Mooloolaba: Low @ 5am & 4.15pm … High @ 10.41am

Snapper Rocks: Low @ 4.47am & 4.02pm … High @ 10.19am

Best waves: it looks like another day for waves on the points. Snapper Rocks to Greenmount has been the best quality, but the Gold Coast Pro is on there until May 4^th So unless you want to watch the contest, you’ll have to surf outside the contest area, or at Currumbin Alley or Burleigh. On the Sunshine Coast, it’s small but fun on the lower parts of the tide in the inner bays at Noosa and The Bluff at Alex is the other option. Early this morning, while the wind is light S/SW, it will be worth looking for beach breaks between Maroochydore and Caloundra and Currumbin to Coolangatta

Best Beaches: In the forecast light to moderate SE winds, the bays on the north side of the headlands at Noosa, Burleigh, Kirra, Greenmount and Rainbow Bay will be the most pleasant and safest beaches. There’s inshore holes and gutters, particularly along the open stretches of beach and any rips and sweep working around those features will be enhanced as the water drains off the beach on the ebb tide from late morning through the afternoon. Swim in the patrolled areas marked by the red and yellow flags
