So, we look like we’re close to the top of the initial swell cycle from our lovely little weather system that developed north of New Zealand last week.

So, I’ve been tracking the much-discussed incoming E/NE swell for two weeks now (first mentioned in these Forecaster Notes on Nov 3rd), and since then the system has upgraded and downgraded itself many times.

So yeah - we’ve still got a decent E/SE groundswell on the way for early next week.

The upshot at this point in time is that the weekend will kick off with a small trade swell.

This system will be a major source of swell for us over the weekend and into the first half of the following week.

The Coral Sea ridge will weaken slightly into the weekend and contract to the north, which will in turn weaken wind speeds across the coast.

Before we get stuck into surf size estimates, we also need to look at the other dominant factor for the entire week - persistent SE winds.

The only real swell source for the weekend will be the existing E’ly swell.

Strong S’ly swells will push across Northern NSW on Thursday, originating from the strongest part of the current Tasman Low.

We’ve got a very complex week ahead, with around six individual swell sources - one out of the north, two out of the east and three out of the south.
