By Sat morning we should see a surface low hugging the coast and tracking southwards down the NSW. A broad infeed across SE and NE quarters of the low will see a range of swells trains incoming over the weekend, with plenty of size expected.

It’s quite a bland synoptic outlook with a large area of high pressure moving into the Tasman and becoming slow moving as it weakens. That is forcing fronts well to the south and away from the southern swell window. Not much change for the Easter outlook. Just tiny surf is expected both days and extending into Easter Mon.
There's nothing reliable swell wise to target until mid-next week.
For now, frontal activity is being allowed to track in a more favourable manner for S swell production so we’ll see a week of small/moderate S swell pulses leading into the Easter weekend.
S swells from frontal activity now look a notch more active next week as the W-E progression of the next high cell (and subsequently fronts) slows and allows more intrusion into the lower Tasman.
We’ll see some frontal activity over the weekend and S pulses next week before another strong, blocking high sets up a ridge next week.
Strong NE winds off the high are generating increasing swells for NETas.
There's plenty of surf to come this period with a strong S/SE groundswell for the weekend due to be replaced by N/NE windswell next week.
Into the weekend and we’re still on track for some strong S/SE groundswell from a stalled low near the ice shelf today with ASCAT passes showing strong gales to storm force winds in the fetch.
There are plenty of surf options this period with swells from all angles, along with the local winds.
