A strong frontal system moving in from the west looks a touch better, while winds for next week are touch and go.

We've got some inconsistent and tricky (weekend) west swells for the coming period with smaller surf and north winds next week.
Today and tomorrow are the biggest and best for the period across the Surf Coast.
I remain unconvinced as to the weekend’s surf potential, relative to the vigorous storm track pushing through the Bight.
The storm track for the end of this week and weekend looks very impressive on the synoptic charts, but once you analyse the surface wind field, it starts to fall apart at the seams, just a little bit.
The long term looks more typical for Victoria wind-wise, with an amplifying long wave trough west of the state maintaining moderate to fresh NW winds for much of the week.
The final wind outlook for the weekend is in, while most of next week is a write-off.
Our large swell is still on track but the local winds have shifted.
Make the most of today across the beaches before focussing on the weekend.
Make the most of the coming days of cleaner surf before things go quite next week.
