The coming forecast period isn't great at all, with the storm track sitting too north and out of our swell window. We're seeing a flurry of strong frontal activity pushing up and into Western Australia and then across South Australia.

Yesterday and early this morning a fetch of W/SW gales, south-west of WA was just generated in our swell window, and this may provide an inconsistent 1-2ft wave into Wednesday afternoon under an improving W/SW tending W/NW breeze.

This swell will fade through Thursday from 1ft+ or so under strengthening N/NW tending N/NE winds.

There's nothing significant due into the end of the week or weekend, with some small W/SW swell on the cards for early next week, but more on this Wednesday.
