I’m normally quite skeptical about swell potential from tropical cyclones, and prefer to downplay surf prospects unless there’s a lot of supporting evidence elsewhere. In the case of Severe TC Yasa, there are actually quite a few positives but also a few negatives. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Our current swell will fade tomorrow with some poor windswell for Sunday/Monday ahead of some inconsistent, but better E/NE groundswell from Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasa.
All eyes remain on Severe TC Yasa, which recently passed over Fiji and has now properly entered our swell window. More in the Forecaster Notes.
There are a few better windows of surf to work around with small pulses of W/SW swell for the period.
A so so weekend of waves, but better than the last two days across the South West, better early next week with a bigger mix of swells.
The surf outlook for the South Coast remains poor, though there's a window for the keen on the weekend. A new swell should provide some options across other regions next week.
There's nothing to get excited about over the weekend while next week should offer a couple of windows across both regions.
It's a very dynamic forecast, and all eyes are on Severe TC Yasa.
There's a fun mix of swells for the coming couple of days before we look to the Coral Sea and Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasa.
The average run of surf and winds continues with troughy weather and no major swells.
