Although it’s unfortunate that the low has been downgraded in size potential, there is some good news: it’s expected to linger a little longer in our remote south swell window, and should generate some useful S’ly swell for a few days early next week. More in the Forecaster Notes.
So, we’ve got a lot of swell and wind lining up on the weekend charts and graphs. But, the surf outlook it’s not quite as straightforward as you might otherwise think. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Today’s combo of swells has originated from three sources: (1) long period groundswell (just registered 18 seconds at the CdC buoy), from a deep cut off low SW of WA on Tuesday, (2) mid-range swell from the associated front that tracked through the Bight Wed/Thurs, and (3) local windswell from local 20kt NW winds.

A strong passage of fronts and lows across Tasmania will maintain westerly quadrant gales from Friday through Monday or even Tuesday. There is some good surf on the way though. More in the Forecaster Notes.
OK, we’ve got three days of northerlies ahead (potentially four for those of you north of Ballina), with only one window of light winds to capitalise on. More in the Forecaster Notes.
