Not the best outlook for the South Coast with better options in the gulf, but it'll be inconsistent.

The rest of next week looks rather dynamic, though the models are vastly split on solutions. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Because tomorrow’s swell is essentially independent from Tuesday’s - i.e. it needs to be treated on its own merits, instead of recalibrating because of anomalous observations upstream - I don’t think I’m going to change the forecast for Thursday. More in the Forecaster Notes.

There’s a slight tweak to the overall forecast for the Victor region, in the negative - and that’s thanks to a minor strengthening of the regional high pressure system throughout the week. More in the Forecaster Notes.

A series of powerful Southern Ocean lows in our far swell window are generating excellent long period swells that will arrive in succession from Monday evening onwards. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Although we’re likely to see freshening northerlies for the most part, these troughs are often quite erratic and have the capacity to deliver variable winds - i.e. from any direction - until it passes. More in the Forecaster Notes.

We’re at the start of two interesting long period groundswells, though the first is running a little behind schedule and should peak later today. The second swell is trailing close behind and will build on Tuesday. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Plenty of fun surf days and opportunities this period with good swells and favourable winds.

A mixed end to the week but there should be a few windows, especially later for a decent wave. The weekend looks fun but we'll see stronger swells filling in next week.

There are plenty of options for a surf this period with swells and winds from varying directions favouring the Mid Coast at times and South Coast at others.
