There’s a couple of components to the southerly swell unfolding across the East Coast.
Today’s swell is expected to drop steadily from tonight onwards, and northerly winds will freshen throughout Saturday as a dominant high pressure system moves slowly across the region.
For the most part you’ll be surfing Friday's leftover groundswell over the weekend.
We are looking at a strong SW groundswell peaking on Saturday, hindered by strong and persistent onshore winds.
We’ve got more swell on the way.
We’re still in the midst of a particularly active autumnal Southern Ocean pattern, and gale warnings are out for the coast on Thursday.
Local frontal activity is set to continue, although this time with a pair of systems moving far enough to the south to provide a small amount of energy.
Solid pulse of S'ly swell due to peak on Saturday, with a second pulse mid-way through next week. Biggest across Northern NSW, not much for SE QLD.
Finally breaking the zonal pattern with better S'ly pulses due Friday into Saturday and Tuesday into Wednesday.
Small pulses of SW swell throughout the week, becoming large on the weekend.
