Swell from ex TC Seth, which transitioned into a gale force sub-tropical low Sun is the major synoptic feature this week, responsible for both swell production and directing gradient winds as it slowly weakens and meanders close to the NENSW/SEQLD coast for the next few days.

The coming outlook remains poor with persistent winds out of the south and no major swell for the Mid Coast, just tiny teasing swells.

Stronger surf fills in next week as a more winter-calibre storm pattern begins to set in, with storms off Japan following a favourable jet stream pattern.

Not much to work with but there are a couple of small swells on the cards.
