Recap

Fading surf the last two days, tiny into this morning.

This weekend and next week (Jun 1 - 7)

There’s no real change to the weekend’s outlook with a strong but weakening low due to generate some fun mid-period SW swell tomorrow, building through the afternoon, reaching 2ft+ and then easing from a similar size Sunday morning.

Winds look great tomorrow and NW tending variable, with similar N/NW tending variable winds Sunday.

Into Monday a tricky pulse of W/SW groundswell is due, likely to 1-2ft, generated by a short-lived but strong frontal system dipping south-east through our swell window tomorrow.

Winds unfortunately look average and deteriorating as a low moving down the East Coast interferes with us, bringing strengthening S/SE winds.

The low will sit just east of us Tuesday, maintaining strong S/SW-SW winds on Tuesday along with some new mid-period E/SE energy.

This will be generated on the southern flank of the low and should reach 2ft+ on Tuesday across Clifton, easing slowly Wednesday. Locations further down the Arm will be bigger.

Winds look to tip back to the W/NW on Wednesday morning with 2ft of easing E/SE swell, with nothing too significant to follow. More on this Friday, have a great weekend!
