Best Days: Beginners tomorrow morning, posssibly next Monday

Recap

Solid easing surf from Friday's large pulse, dropping from a clean 3-5ft Saturday morning bumpy and average with sets to 3ft on Sunday.

Today conditions have cleaned right up with good easing 2-3ft sets.

This week and weekend (Apr 30 – May 5)

The surf will continue to drop through tomorrow, and I reckon you'll be lucky to find anything of substance over 1-1.5ft. Conditions will be good in the morning, ideal for beginners.

As touched on last update there's nothing too significant on the cards for the week with the storm track remaining too far north and aimed into WA mostly.

Come the weekend a broad and deepening low to our north-west will weaken while moving across us Saturday bringing onshore winds and a poor, weak increase in windswell. The low looks to redevelop in the Tasman Sea, north of our swell window again, so no decent SE swell is likely across the South Arm.

A stronger polar low looks to produce a great fetch of severe-gale to storm-force SW winds in our southern swell window Friday and Saturday, generating a good S'ly groundswell for later Sunday/Monday though check back here Wednesday for an update on this.
