Tiny glassy lines this afternoon

This week and weekend (Jun 27 - Jul 5)

This afternoon’s tiny pulse of swell is due to ease back from a similar 1-1.5ft tomorrow morning under N/NW tending W/NW winds.

From here on tiny surf is due through Friday and Saturday, with the next increase in size due to arrive from a mid-latitude low moving in from the west over the coming days.

This low, like the last will expend the majority of its energy north, into South Australia and Victoria, but as it moves east across us on Sunday, a fetch of SE winds feeding in on its southern flank is due to generate a weak increase in S/SE swell.

This swell is due overnight and into Monday, arriving with poor, strong S/SE winds.

Junky 3ft surf is due Monday, easing Tuesday with lingering, strong but abating S/SW winds.

Unfortunately following this the outlook remains slow with some inconsistent W’ly groundswell from our far swell window due later week but with no size. More on this Friday.
