There might be a couple of better windows opening up around the South West over the coming days. Perth and Mandurah should be fun.

Cold fronts have passed through the Tasman and the high pressure will now exert a blocking effect, steering fronts well away from the swell window or ensuring a zonal (W-E) flow through the end of the week and into the weekend.

The surf will ease ahead of a new, large S/SW groundswell later this week, with a follow up next week.

Tiny/flat surf look to build from Thurs as a new high pressure ridge builds up the QLD Coast. The high moves into the Tasman at roughly sub-tropical latitudes, with a reasonable ridge up the QLD Coast and some small, peaky swell developing likely into the 1-2ft range through Thurs.
