The coming days are dicey for the South Coast, where the most surfable waves will be found. The weekend won't be great but doable.

Trough weather will bring tricky winds over the coming days with plenty of swell, while mid-late next week looks to bring the first proper run of sizey swell for the season.
There's a couple of weeks of swell on the cards starting from Wednesday with good conditions from Thursday.
Weak but persistent tradewinds in the Coral Sea should hold surf just rideable on low tides. If the retrograding low comes off as modelled we’ll see a nice boost in size from Fri into the weekend.
By Sat morning we should see a surface low hugging the coast and tracking southwards down the NSW. A broad infeed across SE and NE quarters of the low will see a range of swells trains incoming over the weekend, with plenty of size expected.
The coming period looks sub-par swell wise with nothing of significance due.
A complex inland trough low tied to tropical sources exits the coast as a strong high moves into the Bight. Following that a coastal trough in the Northern Tasman then deepens, likely into a surface low which may drift southwards bringing E swells to the entire region, possibly followed by a return S swell as the low gets captured by an approaching front.
The coming week is mostly average but there are a couple of windows to work around.
The coming period is generally poor, only improving later in the weekend, with better potential next week.
