Today’s Forecaster Notes are brought to you by Rip Curl

This weekend and next week (Jul 6 - 12)

I hope you made the most of yesterday and today's waves as there's nothing of significance on the cards at all for us until later next week.

The storm track will remain north of our swell windows and mostly benign until later next week, when a strong node of the Long Wave Trough moves in across the south-east corner of the country.

The best chance for a surf will be Tuesday when a small S'ly swell pushes in, generated by a late forming polar front south of us on Sunday. A fetch of SW gales will be generated just within our swell window before the system continues off east.

We'll hopefully see 1-2ft sets, fading through Wednesday. Conditions will be great all day as well with a W/NW tending N/NW breeze Tuesday, NW Wednesday as it fades.

Moving into the end of the week, and a flurry of strong frontal activity is due through our western swell window owing to the LWT. The models are still trying to resolve the position and strength of each front and at this stage it looks like most of the swell will come from the W/SW and arrive over the weekend (following a possible close-range W/SW swell Friday). We'll have to review this Monday though.
