The storm track across the Southern Indian Ocean has been quite active over the last week, though most of the strength has been positioned at relatively low latitudes. More in the Forecaster Notes.

A series of powerful fronts and lows will develop on the eastern periphery of our Southern Ocean swell window today and tomorrow. More in the Forecaster Notes.
This week’s synoptics will be dominated by a large stationary high pressure system west from Perth, which will generally maintain fresh S/SE winds all week.
Saturday morning will be very small, as we’ll be between swells, but late in the day we’ll see a building trend of new long period groundswell. More in the Forecaster Notes.
The key difference for the next few days is that these mid-week swells should provide a little more size across Perth and Mandurah coasts thanks to a better swell direction .
Slow ahead of a strong kick in new SW groundswell late Sunday, peaking Monday followed by a secondary large S/SW groundswell.
Less than ideal conditions and smaller waves ahead of good new swells early to mid-next week.
Large, long-period groundswell over the coming days with favourable winds.
Varying pulses of swell, large early next week and with favourable winds.
Better winds and groundswell events from the weekend and especially into next week.
