A Tasman Low is expected to produce a new SE swell that should arrive late on Thursday afternoon and hold into Friday morning. The Tasman Low isn't perfectly aligned within our swell window, with the NSW coast seeing a smaller spread of energy of the side off the low, probably peaking at 4-5ft on Friday morning.

Due to the current tidal cycle we can only run the competition late on Thursday and Friday morning, as there probably won't be enough swell left by Friday afternoon. Conditions on Thursday afternoon will be less than ideal with a moderate to fresh southerly wind, but Friday morning should see clean conditions with a moderate south-westerly (possibly even west-southwest for a period during the early morning), before southerly winds redevelop during the day.

All competitors will be on call in Cronulla to observe conditions on Thursday morning for a potential start in the early afternoon.
