This week and weekend (Apr 11 - 14)

There's still plenty of swell on the cards for the rest of this week owing to a broad trailing fetch of strong SW winds on the backside of the vigorous frontal progression linked to our current swell.

Clifton should hold 2ft+ tomorrow and winds will be good and light out of the N/NW, shifting onshore and sea breezey early afternoon.

Friday will be clean all day with a persistent N'ly wind, variable mid-late afternoon and easing swell from 2ft.

A small S/SW swell is likely to be seen on Saturday, generated by a good polar fetch of strong SW winds late in our swell window this evening and tomorrow morning.

Good sets to 2ft should continue to be seen but a S/SW change looks to move through shortly after dawn, creating average conditions.

Sunday looks cleaner with a mix of small swells to 1-2ft and light N/NW offshore winds ahead of sea breezes.

Longer term, as touched on in the last update there's nothing too significant on the cards as the Long Wave Trough focusses the storm track up towards WA. This will result in small to tiny W'ly swells for us, possibly better later in the week, but more on this Friday.
