Friday's XL westerly swell is just the lemon next to the pie. XXL surf with favourable winds is on track next week.
Primary tabs
Clean small waves across the South West most of tomorrow, with average conditions Wednesday. New swell Thursday morning with a slim window of OK conditions. Large swells from Friday but with average winds that may improve early next week.
We’re still on track for a new pulse of long range groundswell to arrive through Sunday morning.
Wednesday and Thursday will see persistent gales from the NW thru’ W, then W/SW thru’ SW.
Look, we can delve into the nitty gritty of the outlook but the long and short is that we’ve got an extended period of craptacular conditions on the way, thanks to a sustained frontal progression across the southern half of the state. However, next weekend is looking potentially fantastic at this stage.
Today's swell has reached a peak and will trend down through Friday.
Friday is probably the pick of the period as we'll have the best conditions, though size will be only borderline surfable across metro beaches.
We’re looking at slowly easing swells from today into Sunday and Monday.
Fortunately, winds will tend light variable across all regions so conditions will be clean.
We’re still looking at a very significant groundswell arriving throughout Thursday, peaking in the late afternoon before easing slowly through Friday.
