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.

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.
