Recap

Flat yesterday, but this morning we had the starts of a tiny N/NE windswell, which should have built further this afternoon.

Our initial burst of strong N/NE winds off our coast this afternoon should be kicking up an increase in N/NE windswell, but we'll see this fetch relax temporarily overnight, resulting in peak in surf early morning, easing slightly thereafter.

A re-intensification of N/NE winds through the morning should see the surf build again through the day across north-east magnets and likely peaking later in the day before easing off Sunday.

So pulsey surf to 2-3ft is expected now tomorrow, a bit down on Wednesday's forecast but with favourable W/SW tending W/NW winds.

Sunday will be clean again but only small and fading from 1ft to maybe 2ft.

From here on there's nothing significant due through next week as a series of strong mid-latitude fronts push across us.

Later in the week we may see one of these fronts take a more south to north track, generating a fun S'ly swell for Friday/Saturday, but latest updates have this again being more zonal than ideal.

We'll have a closer look at this on Monday. Have a great weekend!
