The atmospheric models are starting to converge on a similar solution for the Tasman Low, which increases confidence in the surf outlook. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Probably my most favourite swell source for this weekend is another surface trough developing north of New Zealand later this week - in almost the same location as the source for the last round of E’ly swell Fri/Sat. More in the Forecaster Notes.

This east swell looks pretty juicy right now. Interestingly, model guidance has this event peaking on Saturday with more size in the swell and more strength in the period, but to be honest I just can’t see it getting much bigger. More in the Forecaster Notes.

We’re looking at a weekend of waves best suited to protected points and other sheltered locations. More in the Forecaster Notes.

I’m not super confident on the arrival time of this next phase of swell, a fact that’s isn't helped by unsupportive model guidance either. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Plenty of fun small waves ahead, just gotta work around the winds. More in the Forecaster Notes.

In general, the trend for the next few days will be easing from the south across Northern NSW, but slowly building from the east across SE Qld. Even better, winds will become light so conditions will clean up nicely. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Going on the swell trend in Southern NSW today - which managed 6ft sets in Sydney and 8ft bombs in Newcastle - there won’t be any shortage of south swell tomorrow. Though, the trend will be steadily down. More in the Forecaster Notes.
