There was some great surf in northern NSW with a S/SE swell and a few nice sets coming through the Points here in Noosa but conditions had deteriorated by yesterday into bumpy one-foot mess.
Wednesday’s sloppy peaks on the opens didn’t offer much worth getting out of bed for.
The Northerlies kick in today and grow stronger by the hour as Tropical Cyclone Debbie downgrades and moves south.
The next few days Debbie will bring some big swell and strong SE winds up to 30 knots. What does that mean for us surfers?
We can expect much bigger swell than initially expected, however, the storm system is rare and complex to read so don’t call in sick just yet.
It is predicted that we will see some solid windy waves across protected points so it will be well worth keeping your eye on the Swellnet cams. Boiling Pot may be firing and the big wind and heavy rain should work as crowd control.
All in all, it will be large, wet and windy this weekend kicking off the school holidays. Conditions may be intense and are hard to predict at this stage so be safe and surf with a mate – it might just get a bit crazy out there.
