No changes to the weekend forecast. The current south swell will ease a little into Saturday, but we should still see early 3-4ft sets at south facing beaches across Northern NSW. Due to the southerly swell direction, surf size will remain very small in SE Qld away from south swell magnets.

A gusty southerly change will extend along the Northern NSW coast overnight, and should reach SE Qld in the early hours of the morning. This is the precursor to an extended period of southerly swell for the entire region.
