The lifecycle of the low (before it gets whisked away to the E) plays out slightly more slowly than Fridays Forecast notes, which is great news for surfers.

Trailing S’ly swell early Saturday is about the best we’ve got in store for the weekend. But there's a whole bunch of interesting sources for next week.

If you’ve got a south swell magnet up your sleeve you’ll do OK but its not worth getting excited about.

The Southern Ocean storm track remains very strong, but it’s riding quite north in latitude, across the southern states. So, there's only one swell to work around.

We’ve got a similar chance for a small flukey south swell, originated from a secondary fetch of W/SW gales exiting eastern Bass Strait on Sunday.

Following the large mid-week south swell, model guidance suggests a tiny weekend with fresh offshore winds. But that may not be the case.

With no other activity in any of our swell windows for the next 24-36 hours, I think we'll see tiny surf throughout SE Qld for the entire weekend. South of the border is a different story though.

Smaller surf is expected for the next couple of days as all of our current swells ease back in size.

We’re on the backside of weekend’s event, but with not a great deal standing out in the forecast, you’ll be best off making the most of Tuesday’s light winds and fun surf.
