Open beaches are looking small clean peaks of a northeasterly swell, however the outlook is pretty dormant after that. Mid-way through next week holds prospects for another northeasterly swell.

The next few days are looking good in terms of surf, with modest but workable southerly groundswells continuing to fill in under a generally westerly airflow.
Strong S'ly groundswell pulses from Sunday, continuing through most of next week with favourable winds.
The later stages of the weekend and early next week have good potential with fresh southerly swell under persistent westerly breezes.
A southerly gruondswell is likely to fill in on Tuesday, however only the most exposed south swell magnets will see the size. Breezes look to be light and offshore each morning leading to plenty of options for a small but workable wave.
Today's swell will ease across all coasts, while a short range southerly swell will also be providing options for south facing beaches. Light offshore breezes are forecast for both mornings of the weekend. Hit it early for the best results.
Friday is looking good for a wave at protected southern corners of open beaches. The surf should be in the 3-4ft range off the back side of a solid NE swell. Brisk southelry breezes will be moving up the coast, so protection is key.
A sizey NE swell is on the cards late on Thursday, however NE breezes are likely to ruin the fun. Friday morning is looking much better with plenty of NE energy still in the water, however by this stage winds should have swung S'ly, opening up options across the open beaches.
Easing NE swell with offshores tomorrow, then fun easing S/SE swell Sunday with good winds for south facing beaches. Average early next week until Thursday.
Open beaches are the go for Friday morning with a solid north/northeasterly swell on the cards. The surf should be in the 4-6ft range first thing under offshore breezes. Hop in early to beat a southerly change however.
