Thursday morning should dawn reasonably clean with moderate SW winds across most regions, and with open south facing locations in Northern NSW peaking somewhere between 3ft and 5ft, there should be some great waves about the reefs and exposed points.
A complex, deep trough currently lies off the west coast of New Zealand, and it's expected to be an active source of swell for the entire NSW coastline for the rest of the forecast period.
Exposed spots will be the best but a bit blowy tomorrow and Wednesday, while better swells and winds are due into Thursday and Friday.
Small clean waves east of Melbourne tomorrow and Wednesday, with some better swell and N/NW winds Thursday onwards.
This is certainly not a weekend to get terribly worked up about the surf.
If you have to surf over the weekend, seek out a protected corner Sunday, otherwise aim for a paddle Monday morning.
Onshore winds and a junky windswell for Saturday and Sunday. Monday nice and clean with a new S/SW groundswell.
Best from Perth north over the weekend, with large swells and improving winds from Tuesday.
The current building short range south swell should hang around into Saturday morning, before easing a little throughout the day. Of more interest is the likelihood that local winds will throttle back after lunch, and possibly swing to the SW during the afternoon, courtesy of a small low forming east of Bass Strait, deep within a broad trough stretching right along the East Coast.
Give the surf a miss tomorrow and head down South Sunday for peaky clean waves. If you can surf Monday though, this will be the day.
