Poor winds and weak swells to end the week and start the weekend. We should see better surf developing from Sunday and into next week.
Primary tabs
We've got blocking high pressure and an unfavourable storm track, with all Southern Ocean frontal activity being diverted north up towards South Australia and Victoria.
Perth and Mandurah will improve quicker than the South West, with early next week providing the best conditions as the swell eases.
We've got strong winds and building surf over the coming days with improving quality across Perth and Mandurah through the weekend, more so Monday in the South West.
A couple of clean mornings but small surf, onshore through the end of the week before improving slowly on the weekend.
The surf looks a bit smaller with mid-period S/SW energy, clean and fun early next week.
A tricky period with a good swell spoilt by onshore winds tomorrow, improving slowly from Friday but with smaller, weaker S/SW swells.
Easing surf tomorrow with clean conditions through the morning ahead of developing onshore winds and a moderate-large SW swell later week. Conditions will improve slowly on the weekend.

A fun new swell with offshore winds is due tomorrow, poor Friday but then improving on the weekend with a new swell for Saturday morning.
