Gold & Sunshine Coast Report issued at 5.50am Wednesday 15th May 2024

Weather Forecast: Partly cloudy with a 60% chance of showers, most likely late in the day and a top temperature of 24°

Wind Forecast: 10kts S/SW early, becoming 10-15kts Southerly during the morning and SE during the day and gusting to 15kts plus 

Swell: 1m E/SE on the northern ends of the Sunshine and Gold Coasts and along the Tweed Coast. Smaller in the bays on the north side of headlands, particularly the inner bays at Noosa

Tides: Mooloolaba: Low @ 8.45am & 7.50pm … High @ 2.30pm

Snapper Rocks: Low @ 8.21am & 7.42pm … High @ 2.18pm

Best waves: With light S/SW winds early, look for waves on the points and the beach breaks from Maroochydore to Caloundra and Currumbin Coolangatta. If the wind swings Southerly then SE and freshens as forecast, the points and bays on the north side of headlands will be the best options

Best Beaches: With a forecast of a partly cloudy day and moderate to fresh SE winds, the beaches offering the best shelter from the cool wind will be 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 and any rips and sweep working around those features, will be enhanced as the water drains off the beach on the early morning and afternoon ebb tides, so swim in the patrolled areas marked by the red and yellow flags
