We’re entering a windy wintry pattern for the next week or so, but the surf outlook isn't great for the South Arm.
A new polar low will develop at very low latitudes on Wednesday, before rocketing up to the north-east, wrapping around the primary mid-latitude low on Thursday, reaching the SA coast sometime on Friday with gale force W/NW tending SW winds.

A deep Southern Ocean low well to the SW of West Oz today is setting up a better long period groundswell that’ll arrive on Monday morning, and peak late in the day before easing through Tuesday.
