Great weekend of waves down south. We’ve got a new S/SW swell starting to push into the region and it’ll provide clean 3ft waves across the Middleton stretch on Saturday, with smaller surf on Sunday.

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). 

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. 

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.
