The current S/SE swell will continue a downwards trend for the next few days, but it’ll be supplemented by a small secondary pulse from the same direction on Thursday afternoon.
Primary tabs
The timing of this south swell is quite unfortunate - we’re going to see it peak overnight and then trend downwards all day Tuesday.
We're still looking good for Saturday although wave heights will continue a steady downwards trend as they have this afternoon.
Large and windy: that’s the top line overview for Thursday.
Wednesday will be a day of dynamics on the synoptic front.
There are some crucial differences in the atmospheric model forecasts that could be make-or-break for a great surf session, or an average one.
Sunday has plenty of potential for some good waves.
In any case, I’d quietly pencil out Tuesday and Wednesday from your diary and consider extending your Easter break to capitalise on what could end up being a very tidy Autumn groundswell for the East Coast.
On the balance I’m not expecting a lot of punch in the swell for the entire weekend, so make sure you dial into a swell magnet for the biggest and best waves.
After Monday’s slight downgrade for the weekend outlook, the good news is that we’ve had a slight upgrade for Saturday over the last few model runs.
