This week and weekend (Oct 23 – 28)

We should see today's swell easing through tomorrow from a fun 1-2ft with NW tending W/NW breeze.

Wednesday's swell potential has been increased with a mid-latitude front that's currently pushing in towards the Bight expected to dip east-southeast into our swell window and generate a tight fetch of W/SW gales just within our western swell window, passing under us early Wednesday.

This will generate a fun pulse of W/SW swell for Wednesday morning to 3ft on the sets, easing through the day and back smaller from 2ft Thursday.

Winds on Wednesday look suss and out of the W/SW most of the day creating average conditions, N/NW and offshore most of Thursday ahead of a late change.

A small spike of SW swell may be seen Friday in the wake of this change, though it will be windswelly and only to 1-2ft with onshore SW winds.

Longer term there's no decent groundswell on the cards until possibly mid-next week, but a mid-latitude low moving across us looks to bring an increase in onshore S'ly windswell early next week, but more on this Wednesday.
