On the balance, not a great weekend of waves. But there’ll be options around.
The only downer is that we’re looking at persistent S’ly winds throughout the day, so the best waves will be found at semi-exposed points that’ll handle these breezes.
I’m expecting Tuesday to push slowly up into the 3ft+ range at south facing beaches south of Byron during the day.
The low that generated today’s south swell is already exiting our swell window to the east, so surf size will ease rapidly from this source overnight.
So, that’s three potential swell sources all in store for Thursday, and the combination of them all could produce some tasty results at the right kinds of beaches.
The long and short of this pattern is that SE Qld will remain very small for much of the outlook period.
In Northern NSW, the south swell we saw today will ease throughout the morning but a new south swell will build concurrently, arriving across the Mid North Coast early.
Friday’s conditions look pretty good with mainly light variable winds across most regions.
An East Coast Low is forming off the Southern NSW coast, and it’s resulting in a lot of headaches on the forecasting front. As such, confidence is rather low on the specifics for the entire forecast period
