At this stage it’s shaping up to be the best weekends of winter waves thus far this season. Let’s hope the models don’t move around too much.

The weekend ain’t looking too crash hot.
Not a lot of action on the way for the coming days.
We’ve got a couple of south swells on the way for the next few days.
Although the south and east swells have punched above their weight over the last 18 hours, this doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve got a major upgrade for the weekend surf forecast.
The models have slightly weakened the front exiting eastern Bass Strait (for tonight), which has both eased the projected size for the flukey south swell I was expected later Thursday, and also narrowed the peak of the event into a short timeframe - most of which will occur overnight Thursday.
We’ve got a spell of generally small surf ahead.
A secondary front wrapping around the core Tasman Low overnight tonight - but positioned further east in the Central Tasman Sea - will generate a secondary S/SE thru' SE swell that should fill in on Sunday morning.
We’ve got two completely different days ahead to finish the week.
There are a couple of sources of new swell for the coming days.
