Northerly winds kick in as today's swell eases. Plenty of swell for the weekend but also with plenty of wind.

A coastal ridge will slowly build across the SE Qld coast on Tuesday before gradually merging with a passing front in the lower Tasman Sea on Wednesday. This will allow the ridge to extend across the entire Northern Tasman Sea. More in the Forecaster Notes. 

Peripheral swell sources are expected for the next few days. We've got plenty of surf later this week and into the weekend, and next week looks very interesting with a complex trough. More in the Forecaster Notes. 

Lots of wind and swell on the way with windows of cleaner conditions working around the peak in energy.
