Recap

Tiny surf yesterday, ideal for beginners, with a small bump of E/SE energy into today though with less favourable winds.

This weekend and next week (Apr 15 - 21)

There's not much to work with this period with the E/SE swell seen today due to fade away along with strong N/NE winds.

The East Coast will offer much better surf so I'd advise checking out Steve's notes which are currently live.

Our next source of noteworthy swell will be from a strong mid-latitude front pushing in under the country early next week, dipping south-east while forming into a low just west-southwest of us on Tuesday evening.

A brief fetch of W/SW gales are expected to be generated through our western swell window, producing a moderate sized W/SW groundswell for Thursday.

We should see a late pulse of swell Wednesday, with Thursday seeing 2ft to occasionally 3ft sets across Clifton along with N/NW winds.

Following this a progression of zonal fronts look to generate small pulses of W/SW swell into the next weekend and beyond, but more on this Monday. Have a great weekend!
