As mentioned on Wed, we should see the extended flat spell broken next week, not in spectacular fashion, but with some small, rideable days. A trough may develop in the Coral Sea, focussing E/NE winds into it, and supplying CQ with some small rideable surf.

The current swell will ease on the weekend with a fun swell for the South Coast, while next week is very dynamic with a large, local swell due.

S’lies in the a’noon are expected to exceed 20 knots with gusts possible to 30 knots so the a’noon will be windy and mostly blown out. Short period S swell will rise as a result but keep expectations low.

Good S/SW groundswell for the coming days with plenty of trade-swell in the Maldives.
