An unusually strong high for this time of year (1034 hPa) sets up in the central Tasman with quite a firm ridge up the QLD coast. It’ll feel like a late Summer pattern with SE winds blowing..

As mentioned on Wednesday a series of SW fetches slingshot up around the complex low and a secondary fetch which extends further south from Tasmania overnight Wed/early Thurs is expected to provide another strong pulse

The lifecycle of the low (before it gets whisked away to the E) plays out slightly more slowly than Fridays Forecast notes, which is great news for surfers.

Trailing S’ly swell early Saturday is about the best we’ve got in store for the weekend. But there's a whole bunch of interesting sources for next week.

If you’ve got a south swell magnet up your sleeve you’ll do OK but its not worth getting excited about.

The Southern Ocean storm track remains very strong, but it’s riding quite north in latitude, across the southern states. So, there's only one swell to work around.

We’ve got a similar chance for a small flukey south swell, originated from a secondary fetch of W/SW gales exiting eastern Bass Strait on Sunday.

Thursday looks interesting, mainly from a weather nerd POV, not quite as much from a surfing outlook.

Following the large mid-week south swell, model guidance suggests a tiny weekend with fresh offshore winds. But that may not be the case.

With no other activity in any of our swell windows for the next 24-36 hours, I think we'll see tiny surf throughout SE Qld for the entire weekend. South of the border is a different story though.
