I’m really impressed with the way the models are tracking this system through the Southern Ocean - it reaches maturity in an ideal part of the swell window (south of WA) but also has most of its initial stages at a reasonably low latitude (50S or lower) which means it’ll spend a lot of time within our swell window.

Small easing surf tomorrow with northerly winds. New inconsistent W/SW swell for Sunday but with limited options as only the Torquay region will see morning W/NW breezes. Easing surf Monday with OK winds early for more exposed breaks.
