This week and weekend (Feb 1 -4)

The surf will become about as small as it gets over the coming days, with no new swell due as morning offshore winds iron it flat.

Saturday morning will also start tiny, but into the afternoon and more so Sunday our small increase in SW swell is still on the cards.. but so are the dicey winds.

A very small and tight low east of Heard Island is generating a fetch of gales, and we should see this produce a small inconsistent SW swell, building Saturday to 3ft later in the day but with possibly the odd 4ft set Sunday morning.

Perth and Mandurah will hardly see any noticeable increase in size with tiny 1ft sets possible off a weak trough.

Morning NE winds are due to give into sea breezes Saturday afternoon, while we may actually see a morning S/SE breeze Sunday, though we'll have to review this Friday.

Moving into next week, better winds are due as the swell eases, while we're still due to see some new swell later in the week as a slow moving polar frontal progression moves slowly up towards us. More on this Friday.
