We've got a large run of swell due this period but with tricky winds for the South West, better across the north at times.

The weekend will see easing surf with light winds, large and onshore most of next week.
A strong frontal system will bring large surf again tomorrow, with easing winds and improving surf from Friday.
We'll fall between swell generating fronts tomorrow with winds due to become variable as an XL groundswell fills in.
The coming period is tricky with an XL groundswell due but with less than ideal winds.
The coming period is mostly onshore, windy and raw, but there are a couple of windows to try and work.
Cold fronts and onshore winds dominate the period with a couple of windows to the north.
A slow moving complex low gyre is well to the south of WA with constant conveyor belt fetches reinforcing already active sea states and generating large swells for WA. A northwards sitting high is producing W’ly onshore ridging with the massive gyre. Pretty standard active winter pattern.
A long fetch of SW gales is aimed up and moving towards WA as part of a complex gyre well south off the state. Rotating fetches around the edge of the gyre will hold large pulses of SW swell right through the end of the week into and over the weekend
The onshore pattern remains established over the weekend with high pressure riding at sub-tropical latitudes and a zone of enhanced storminess riding NE with seas in excess of 25ft later this week.
