How to use this reading
Coffs Harbour helps confirm whether swell energy is reaching the Australia area. Higher height with a longer period usually means more organized energy, while direction determines which coastlines receive that swell best.
For surf decisions, compare height, period and direction with your beach's local exposure. If the station does not report a variable, use the app to compare it with nearby model points.
