Today small E'ly swell will drop back through tomorrow leaving tiny to flat waves through until Sunday, when a strong mid-latitude low slowly moves east and across us.

This low will be strongest when sitting west, out of our swell window generating large swell for Victoria and our west coast, but into Sunday we'll see the system slowly move east, projecting a fetch of strong S/SE winds up the coast.

The low will be weakening by then and as a result we're only likely to see a weak building S/SE windswell through Sunday with poor S'ly tending S/SE winds.

Monday will unfortunately see a continuation of poor S/SE winds as the swell eases but with more energy owing to strong S/SE winds extending further south through our swell window.

South facing locations look to ease from 4-6ft, but with those poor winds, cleaner Tuesday and easing from the 3ft range. We'll have a closer look at this Friday.
