Hope you’ve enjoyed the last fortnight’s unseasonably good run of extended E’ly swell. Because this swell window has shut down for the foreseeable future, and we’ll be reliant on southerly swell for the next couple of weeks. More in the Forecaster Notes.

The swell and wind outlook for next week looks promising at first glance - but I see a lot of potential for disappointment across vast swathes of SE Qld and Northern NSW, because of the size and direction. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Punchy options at open stretches will trend smaller throughout the week, but offer fun clean waves through into the weekend. More in the Forecaster Notes.

There’s no need to be overly specific in the weekend outlook: Saturday will be similar to today. But there are some great beachbreaks ahead for the next week. More in the Forecaster Notes.

The automated forecasts are calling for a significant jump in wave heights later Thursday and through Friday and Saturday. However, the source swell models are (in my view) incorrectly combining two swell trains. More in the Forecaster Notes.

It’s odd to be looking at this kind of synoptic setup in the middle of winter. A one-day wonder is one thing, but - following two days of large E'ly groundswell - we’re staring down the barrel of another whole week of solid E’ly surf. Though, there won't be quite the same quality seen over the last thirty six hours. More in the Forecaster Notes.

We’re looking towards at least a week - maybe a week and a half - of strong, steady E’ly swells, so we really need to change the way we think about planning our surf schedule. More in the Forecaster Notes.

There’s a lot to get excited about with this tropical low - it’ll be broad, very strong, slow moving, and aimed in a really nice part of our swell window for quite a while. But, there's a downside too. More in the Forecaster Notes.
