The Sunshine Coast is best positioned for this swell (relative to the fetch alignment) and so will pick up the most size.
It's a bit of a tricky weekend of waves, but the short version is there should be something fun and it’ll be clean on top.
The coming period is a bit hit and miss but the middle of next week should offer a wave.
The weekend looks fun each morning ahead of a good pulse of S/SW groundswell Tuesday.
The weekend doesn't look as favourable as today, though Sunday will offer some great waves still.
Apart from this afternoon and tomorrow on the Mid, the South Coast will be the standout this period.
A good swell is due tomorrow but with tricky winds, better into Sunday with smaller swell pulses and favourable winds for the beaches next week.
The coming days and weekend will be most active, slower from mid-next week.
High pressure is moving into the Tasman, strengthening as it drifts towards New Zealand, where it is expected to become a dominant “flat topped” feature, reinforced by subsequent high pressure moving into the Tasman. We’ll see a long E’ly fetch develop through the South Pacific slot through the end of this week into the Coral Sea, enhanced by a trough of low pressure near New Caledonia which is attached to a still active monsoon trough.
