Fun weekend for the open beaches

There'll be two additional swells in the water though I don't think they'll contribute much size to the region.

We’ve got two new swells for the weekend, in addition to the existing, easing swell from Friday.
Keep an eye out for super long period W/SW swell from an African storm we mentioned last week. These swell periods will be in excess of 20 seconds, through Thurs into Fri. Not the main swell source but still supplying some long range energy into the mix.
In short, it's looking to be a small, windy week across the South Arm.
Once the SE surge becomes established Fri into the weekend we’ll see another round of fun sized E/SE swell developing, likely into the 2ft range Sun/Mon and holding at that size before easing Tues/Wed as the SE wind field contracts to the North, away from the CQ swell window.
We’ve got another slow moving pattern on our hands to start the week with a high pressure belt at sub-tropical latitudes directing a W’ly to NW’ly flow across the state and a very zonal (W-E) storm track tracking through the far southern Tasman Sea.
We’ve got another active week of surf ahead, with the Southern Ocean still quite busy with a powerful frontal conveyor belt pushing under the continent.
A tradewind band has slowly weakened and contracted eastwards but is expected to remain slow moving this week, maintaining a fun signal of E-E/NE swell.

We've got a whole week of windy westerlies on the cards as a strong conveyor belt of fronts cross the state.
