Building levels of westerly swinging southerly energy is due over the coming days, cleanest into Saturday.

The front passing Thurs is followed by a trough and more well angled SW-S fetch which will see some short range S swell build to 2-3ft during the day.

Conditions for both coasts over the coming days will be hit and miss but there should be quality windows for those with flexibility and on the pulse.

Make the most of the current swells before things back off through the weekend as winds favour the beaches. Next week is flukey.
