We’ve got an excellent weekend of waves coming up for many beaches (caveat for Qld surfers: sorry, directional issues will generally work against you again).
Primary tabs
We’re looking at an easing south swell across Northern NSW on Saturday, with very little size expected to make its way north of Byron and into SE Qld.
Probably the best chance for a a decent amount of size and a wind swing is the Lower Mid North Coast.
The current S/SE swell is expected to trend downwards steadily from Tuesday onwards, so make the most of what’s on offer now.
And so, the weekend surf forecast maintains the existing regime of south swell, favouring exposed south facing beaches in Northern NSW and offering very little excitement north of Byron Bay.
We’ve got an extended period of strong frontal activity expected through the Tasman Sea, and this will generate back-to-back south swells from Thursday right through until early next week.
Aim for the early mornings for the cleanest conditions and keep your expectations pegged quite low.
Early bird catches the worm.
With no significant sources of swell on the cards, we’ll be working around marginal windswells and funky winds.
Model data for this afternoon still has a 25-30kt S/SE fetch aimed up into the North Coast region, and it’ll supply plenty of swell for Saturday ahead of an easing trend into Sunday.
