This week and weekend (Mar 27 – Apr 1)

Currently a strong mid-latitude low is pushing across us and we'll see it project a short-lived but good fetch of strong to gale-force S/SW winds through our southern swell window.

This should produce a good S'ly pulse to 3ft+ or so across south magnets tomorrow morning and with great winds as the low spins off quickly to the east. Offshore W'ly winds are due most of the day, tending variable ahead of E/NE sea breezes as the swell fades.

Come Wednesday no major size is due to be left, with fading 1-1.5ft sets on the coast.

Unfortunately there's nothing major on the cards for the weekend with only a small hint of NE swell likely from a tropical low sitting off the Qld coast. This looks to be too far away and not well aimed in our swell window to generate anything above 1-2ft.

Longer term an average S'ly swell is due off a southerly change Tuesday week, with distant E/NE swell energy beyond this, but more on Wednesday.
