Not a whole lot to work with until Tuesday when an E/NE groundswell is due to fill in across open beaches. A strong front/cut-off low should favour protected southern corners, while exposed south swell magnets pick up building low quality windswell.

A pretty quiet week ahead, although clean each morning. Better prospects come next week with the chance of a long range E/NE groundswell from a potential tropical cyclone.
Make the most of the surf this weekend, particularly each morning as size looks to dwindle early next week.
Not much quality on offer for the end of the week, but we should see a mix of E/NE and S'ly groundswells over the weekend with light winds each morning.
The surf will continue to fade throughout Tuesday, becoming pretty small on Wednesday and Thursday. There are some pretty promising signs for a building E/NE swell for the weekend - open beaches looking at a fun 2-3ft groundswell with favourable winds each morning.
Large stormy waves tomorrow and Sunday with torrential rain and strong onshore winds. Conditions improving as the low drifts south-east early next week.
Make the most of the light winds on Thursday morning, because a gusty NE breeze looks to dominate until at least the late weekend otherwise. We are looking a a strong increase in northeasterly windswell during the coming days, without much quality.
Groundswell of TC Victor will gradually fade, with one final undersized pulse due on Thursday across open beaches. A northeasterly windswell is due to build strongly late in the week, with indications of favourable winds on Thursday afternoon.
Inconsistent E/NE groundswell building to the 2-3ft+ across the open beaches in the ocming days, cleanest at protected southern ends. An E'ly windswell looks to build next week, overshadowing the groundswell, but with poor quality.
Small swell in the coming days, building from Friday with the impacts of Severe Tropical Cyclone Victor filling in. Open beaches are looking good for a run of days starting Friday.
