Not sure but I can see it being 3ft in the morning dropping to 2ft in the arvo.

How big was it today? Looked like around 4ft. Open beaches over here were around 5 to 6ft so sounds about right. See what you awake to I guess!

This is their idea of 1 meter surf yesterday

Looks like they were pretty spot on today though. I've never been a big swellnet fan for Vicco forecasts!

Seriously,swellnet is always wrong and slow to update.I always look to coastal watch,much better forecast.

You'd still call that 4ft which isn't that far wrong, but still wrong none the less!
I rekon a combo of bouyweather, swellnet, coastalwatch and real wave data plus some history of
real observations you can pretty much get it pretty close. Remember there is real wave observations
west of Vic as well.
