We can thank a strong node of the long wave trough for this southerly energy this morning. By the looks of the forecast, there is plenty more to come.

We are finally expecting more size over the weekend, although winds aren't looking to cooperate. Next week holds much better prospects with fresh southerly groundswell on the cards under light winds each morning for most of the week.

The prospects of surf are pretty underwhelming for the remainder of this week, however better indications are on the cards for the weekend and next week. Monday should see S'ly groundswell build to the 3-4ft mark, with a second pulse on Tuesday.

The next few mornings are looking good to score a few small waves at open beaches, with Wednesday being the pick of the bunch with a fresh S'ly groundswell and offshore breezes potentially holding into the afternoon. The weekend has the potential to be big with embedded lows moving to the south, however confidence remains dicey.

We have a fairly benign weekend ahead of us with small weak surf under a southeasterly airflow. Winds are expected to improve early-mid way through next week, although the surf will remain small, peaking in the 2ft range.

Monday morning holds the best opportiunity for a wave with an easing S'ly swell and light/workable winds. Otherwise, the next best chance of surf comes on Wednesday, although breezes look iffy.

Friday morning is looking like the pick of the bunch as winds swing offshore with a sizey northeasterly windswell on the cards. Well worth keeping an eye on the situation as it develops.

Fading NE windswell and weak S/SE swell for tomorrow. New inconsistent S'ly groundswell filling in Wednesday, with an afternoon increase in E'ly windswell, larger into Thursday and from the NE Friday as winds hopefully improve.
