This weekend and next week (Apr 16 - 21)

A small mid-period swell due this afternoon should have kept the surf around 1-1.5ft, with it due to ease back tomorrow from a similar size with gusty N/NE winds.

As touched on the last few updates this forecast period remains void of any major swells as the storm track remains focussed up into Western Australia, too far north and west of us to generate any decent surf.

Your best chance for a wave will be Friday when a small new W/SW swell fills in generated by a brief fetch of strong to near gale-force W/SW winds south of WA tomorrow and early Wednesday morning.

Clifton should see fun 1-2ft sets off this swell Friday with a morning NW breeze, giving into afternoon SE sea breezes.

Following this there's nothing significant at all on the cards so either check the East Coast Forecaster notes this evening or make the most of Friday.
