Great weekend of waves on the whole. A peak in S/SW swell is expected Saturday morning, with mainly W/NW winds slowly easing and swinging N’ly throughout the day, which will favour the Surf Coast (sets of about 3ft).
We’ve got some fun waves on tap for the weekend. The current east swell is a little different from many ‘groundswell’ events, in that we’re seeing a gradual increase in size and period (today’s a little bigger than yesterday, and tomorrow should hopefully be a smidge bigger than today).
Looking fun across the region this weekend with a nice combo of swells out of the southern and eastern quadrants.
The current mix of easing S/SW and residual SW groundswell will continue to fade through Thursday and Friday, leaving very small waves on the Mid Coast but still decent options at the exposed beaches at Victor.
Looks like we’re entering a temporary lull in swell activity for the short term.
Looking good for the rest of the week. A new east swell is expected to slowly build across the coast duringThursday, generated by a tidy low pressure system located mid-way between New Zealand and Samoa over the last few days.
Not a great deal of surf is expected on Thursday however we’ll start to see a small, slow increase in new southerly swell during the day generated by a broad but ultimately moderate-strength frontal progression south of Tasmania yesterday.
We’ve got a fairly linear surf forecast ahead for the next few days. Essentially, the trade swell that peaked over the weekend is expected to slowly ease from Tuesday through Wednesday and into Thursday morning.
Quite an interesting period ahead. We’ve got a multitude of active swell sources for the southern NSW coast, but they’re all located in the peripheries of our swell window. Which means flukey, inconsistent and unreliable swell prospects for the most part. Still, the weather's nice!
The good news is that there’s still plenty of great surf still on the way.
