A generally poor outlook with increasing onshore winds and oversized, building swells later week.

Fun swells with clean conditions this weekend, poor into next week.
There's a mixed bag of swells and generally favourable morning winds this period.
A new swell is on the build but conditions are average across all locations. The swell will ease as winds improve slightly, better later week with a fun, cleaner swell.
All day offshore winds and a peak in swell today are worth making the most of with an average outlook to follow.
Conditions are clean with an inconsistent new W/SW groundswell, while some stronger swell with favourable winds is due later week.
Options in the South West across the magnets ahead of a good swell Friday.
Into next week and the slow moving pattern remains entrenched through most of next week with a “stuck” high pressure to the SW of WA maintaining an ESE-SE flow- depending on the positioning of an inland trough.
No great change to the slow moving pattern which is seeing a blocking high (1034 HPa) well to the SW of the state maintain a ridge of high-pressure across the SW with an inland trough enhancing ESE-SE winds through the morning. This stuck pattern looks to remain in place right through the end of this week and over the weekend, and even into early next week.
This “stuck” synoptic pattern will favour semi-protected waves in the SW under a regime of small SW pulses this week, generated by a zonal suppressed storm track, augmented by some smaller, long range WSW swell generated in the far western Indian Ocean.
