Gold & Sunshine Coast Report issued at 5.50am Monday 27th May 2024

Weather Forecast: Partly cloudy with a low chance of showers and a top temperature of 23-24°

Wind Forecast: 5-10kts S/SW this morning, becoming 10kts SE early this afternoon

Swell: The run of late autumn swell continues. It’s 0.75m E/SE and lacking power on the northern ends of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and along the Tweed Coast. Smaller in the bays on the north side of headlands and flat on high tide and tiny on low tide in the inner bays at Noosa

Tides: Mooloolaba: Low @ 5.01am & 4.07pm … High @ 10.22am

Snapper Rocks: Low @ 4.47am & 3.55pm … High @ 10.17am …

Best waves: With light S/SW winds this morning, forecast to become light SE during the day, look for small waves on the beach breaks and on the points. Either side of the mid morning high tide, the points will be a bit full, but should be better early this morning and mid to late afternoon on the lower part of the tides, when there’s less water on the banks

Best Beaches: It should be a pretty good day for the beach. However, the predicted SW/SE winds will be chilly and the best beaches offering shelter in winds from that direction are the bays on the north side of the headlands at Noosa, Mooloolaba, Burleigh, Kirra, Greenmount and Rainbow Bay. There’s inshore holes and gutters 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 late morning to afternoon ebb tide, so despite the small swell, swim in the patrolled areas marked by the red and yellow flags
