Mornington Peninsula - Phillip Island Forecast

Hugh McDowell •

Today

Some OK early AM options then going onshore and lumpy.

Size about head high on the open coast but the quality will be dropping pretty quickly through the morning. Breezy NW winds first up with give us some OK options at the exposed beachies - a bit cross shore but should be cleanish around dawn, with semi-exposed S facing spots clean.

By mid-morning though options will be shutting down as winds start trending a breezy to strong W then WSW in later PM. Onshore lumpy surf at exposures and not really much size getting into protected points.

When these swells are accompanied by a wind from the S or SE, Cat Bay comes into its own.
