This week and weekend (May 29 – Jun 3)

The mix of W/SW swells due tomorrow have changed a little with the long-range groundswell coming in better now than the swell expected off the low, with it not really developing with intensity.

Inconsistent 1-2ft sets are due across Clifton, possibly best through the afternoon and with fresh N/NE winds, tending more N/NW through the afternoon as a deepening low pushes across us.

This low will generate a quick burst of W/SW gales in our swell window early Wednesday, possibly kicking up a spike in windswell that looks short-lived and only to 1ft to maybe 2ft.

Winds will be good and swing from W/NW to NW ahead of another change as a secondary front pushes across us.

This looks to generate some new SW tending S/SW swell for Thursday as a fetch of strong to gale-force SW tending S/SW winds are projected up into the south-east corner of the state.

We're likely to see Clifton build to 3ft through the day but with poor and strong SW tending S/SW winds, easing from the 2ft range Friday with an early W/NW breeze.

Come the weekend there's a small S/SE swell due off a weak polar low forming south of us on Thursday, possibly generating 1-2ft sets Saturday afternoon, with a small W/SW groundswell for Sunday morning but we'll have another look at this Wednesday.
