The current large swell will ease rapidly overnight but conditions will clean right up and there's fun surf days from the weekend.

OK, before we get to the outlook, it’d be good to touch base on a few things regarding the current swell event. Mainly around expectations, and where they should be positioned.

TThe associated fetch is lining up in the best part of the Vicco swell window (relative to surf size and consistency), and will remain slow moving as it reaches maturity, drawn out over an impressive 30-odd hours or so, which helps to exaggerate eventual surf size above the usual model expectations. It's not a common event.

The outlook for early next week has improved a lot, thanks to a subtle shift in the timing of the main frontal passage.
