It’s a mixed bag this weekend.
Primary tabs
Again, there’ll be an enormous variation in size right across the coast, thanks to the southerly direction.
By and large, because of this synoptic pattern, these Forecaster Notes are almost the same for Southern NSW as they are for Northern NSW, except for a few key points.
Plenty of south swell to come over the coming period, larger mid-late next week.
Mix of S'ly and S/SE swells tomorrow, clean and easing Friday with a large new long-period S'ly groundswell Saturday morning, easing into Sunday morning, with a fresh pulse for Monday morning and plenty more next week.
Large S/SE groundswell pulse tomorrow morning, easing off into the afternoon, with a mix of smaller reinforcing S/SE and S swells through the end of the week. Strong new S'ly groundswell Saturday morning.
Small background swell tomorrow with a new acute S'ly swell Sunday south of Byron. Temporary drop in size Monday morning, with a better S/SE swell for Tuesday morning with workable winds in the morning.
Sunday’s shaping up to deliver very large S’ly swells in Northern NSW though only protected locations will offer anything worthwhile.
Most mornings this week look fun across Northern NSW thanks to the east swell, and SE Qld is probably going to deliver the best waves Wednesday and Thursday.
The only window of opportunity for a dawn patrol Saturday morning will be along the Sunshine Coast.
