Prior to this there’s another interesting region of swell generation that may keep us active at some unusual locations.

Today’s slightly delayed south swell will peak overnight and trend down through Saturday.
The current southerly swell has held across Southern NSW nicely today, and should maintain a similar size across Northern NSW into Thursday morning as what we’ve seen this afternoon.
However only Northern NSW will pick up any notable size from this progression; SE Qld looks like it’ll be out of the firing line so away from exposed northern ends it’ll be pretty small.
You will have to make the most of Saturday if you're planning to get wet at all.
Although the last 36 hours came in bigger than expected, I’m not expecting Thursday to over-perform in the size department.
Wednesday and Thursday have much better potential from this system.
Let’s quickly summarise SE Qld for the foreseeable future: very small at best.
A steady undercurrent of long period southerly swell will persist through Thursday, Friday and early Saturday.
We’ve got some good waves ahead for Northern NSW, but unfortunately most of SE Qld is looking at an extended spell of small conditions, thanks to an absence of weather systems in our eastern swell window.
