Recap

There was nothing left into Saturday from the good SE groundswell seen late week, and since then the surf's remained tiny to flat.

This week and weekend (Jun 9 - 14)

The structure of the strong frontal system currently pushing across us has changed a little since Friday and we're now not likely to see any considerable size across our region until Wednesday.

This will generated by a broad fetch of weakening SW gales pushing up past us Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning.

A moderate sized S'ly groundswell is due, peaking through the afternoon to 3-4ft across south facing beaches, before easing back from 2-3ft Thursday morning.

Winds Wednesday are not the greatest with a fresh to strong SW'ly during the morning, but this is due to straighten out from the W into the late afternoon, opening up options for a late surf.

Thursday looks great with W/NW tending W'ly breeze.

Into the end of the week, another vigorous and more zonal polar front isn't expected to provide any major size Friday afternoon, with the odd 1-2ft set possible at south swell magnets.

Into the weekend and next week tiny surf is due, so try and make the most of Wednesday and Thursday's S'ly swell pulse.
