The weekend will have plenty of swell and good winds, especially Saturday. Storms riding up a lobe of the long wave trough Wed/Thurs positioned favourably for WA swell production (and Indo) send plenty of moderate sized swell for the weekend.

A deep polar low is tracking NE from E of Heard Island today, with a long trailing fetch of SW gales and seas in excess of 20ft in a wide swathe. Iterations of this storm system will bring strong pulses of SW swell over the next few days and into the weekend, with onshore winds a problem.

As mentioned on Fri, a series of fronts pushing up from Heard Island bring quite an active week of mid-sized surf but finding windows of cleaner conditions will be a challenge.
