Saturday’s shaping up pretty well across both coasts.
Primary tabs
Late afternoon, the leading edge of a bigger groundswell - generated by the mid-week progression of a strong front/low combo in the Southern Ocean - is expected to make landfall.
Easing swell with offshores tomorrow morning. Much more activity from Friday afternoon and into the weekend.
Strong increase in SW swell tomorrow, with a reinforcing pulse for Sunday, easing into next week. Winds average until Monday morning/Tuesday down South.
Easing swell with onshores tomorrow, clean but tiny Friday. New strong swell Saturday with dicey winds, easing Sunday as average winds continue.
New swell and morning W/NW winds for the South Coast tomorrow, poor for the rest of the week. More swell over the weekend with improving winds.
Onshore winds and moderate levels of S/SE-SE windswell all weekend. Cleaning up into early next week.
Easing swell with light variable tending locally offshore winds tomorrow morning. Peaky S/SE windswell easing Sunday under E/NE winds.
Average winds and small swell tomorrow, new swell Wednesday with offshores down South.
However if you wanted to gamble, there’s a reasonable chance that - much like Thursday - there may be a few windows of opportunity open up on Saturday.
