No shortage of swell this week, with solid groundswell filling in from the east/northeast and south. The early morning sessions will offer the best options, although Thursday is looking particulalry fun.

The weekend ahead is looking fairly quiet, however the days following look to be quite the contrary. We should see a long range E/NE groundswell fill in on Tuesday, with multple S'ly swells building on Wednesday and Thursday across south facing beaches.

Open beaches look to be the focus over the coming week with small ebbs and pulses of easterly energy preceding a healthy long-range E/NE groundswell off a deepening tropical low. Longer term, we hope to see solid southelry groundswell of a front and cut-off low.

Small clean waves each morning this week, best early before the high tide. New cyclone swell due early next week.

After a few days of stiff southerly breezes, the clean conditions are forecast to make a return each morning from Sunday. The surf should also be hanging in there, fading from the 3-5ft range on Sunday, easing further on Monday and Tuesday.

Hold out for Sunday! Until then, brisk southelry breezes are likely to lead to pretty diabolical conditions. From Sunday we should see early morning offshores each day into early next week.

Not much to work with for the early stages of the week, but the Tasman looks to become very active later in the week and across the weekend. Saturday and Sunday should pulse in the 4-5ft range, although winds look tricky.

Make the most of this weekend, it's likely to be the last decent surf for a while. Early stages of next week are looking pretty small as the swell windows take a break.

Thursday should see the last decent kick from Ex-TC Victor, before slowly fading. A gusty northerly fetch will generate a short range windswell, with small amounts of southeasterly swell also in the mix late week.

And the run of solid groundswell continues. The sets will ease slightly over the coming days to a low of 3-4ft on Wednesday, before a pulse provides more consistent sets in the 3-5ft range on Thursday. A shortern range NE and SE swell should then come into play late week and over the weekend.
