The big ticket item presently is the complex trough of low pressure off the Mid North Coast. Current ASCAT (satellite windspeed) passes show a proximate fetch of strong winds with embedded low end E’ly quarter gales aimed directly at the Mid North Coast.
A mixed period with winds going through the whole compass as well as with a mix of swells. The outlook becomes more active from late next week.
Early next week, possibly Tues, we’ll see a stronger high in the Tasman with a broad SE surge pushing up the QLD Coast.
Small levels of background swell for the coming days ahead of a decent SW swell Thursday.
S swell then eases Good Friday and gets replaced by building NE windswell as the high develops a fetch of N/NE winds off the NSW Coast.
A new swell is on the build but conditions are average across all locations. The swell will ease as winds improve slightly, better later week with a fun, cleaner swell.
This will direct an E’ly fetch across a wide swathe of the Eastern seaboard from the sub-tropics down to the Sydney region. A small closed low forming in the trough then slowly retracts eastwards as we head into the Easter weekend. Winds are going to be a bit tricky but we’ll have plenty of E/SE-SE swell to play with this week as this fetch forms up.

Swells on the smaller side of the coin but good for the magnets and with favourable winds.
Varying winds and swell pulses but generally fun across more exposed breaks this week. The weekend looks poor with a possible decent swell late next week.
