Saturday morning should offer the best waves of the weekend. But, keep your expectations low as there’s not going to be a lot of quality.
Not much more than an easing trend expected this weekend.
At this stage we should see solid 6-8ft surf across exposed parts of the South Coast on Wednesday, whilst he Mid Coast is looking at tidally influenced 2-3ft surf throughout the day (smaller on the outgoing phase).
I’m really impressed with the way the models are tracking this system through the Southern Ocean - it reaches maturity in an ideal part of the swell window (south of WA) but also has most of its initial stages at a reasonably low latitude (50S or lower) which means it’ll spend a lot of time within our swell window.
Unfortunately, we’ve had a downgrade in the strength of Thursday’s southerly change.
Friday looks much better with a high pressure system moving across the region, allowing light variable winds to envelop the coastal margin.
New S'ly swell for tomorrow with a morning offshore and afternoon sea breezes favouring south swell magnets. Easing Friday with similar conditions. Nothing too major into the weekend or next week.
Easing clean S/SW swell tomorrow morning, fading further Friday. Small swell for Saturday and then tiny until mid-next week.
Small onshore waves tomorrow, becoming large Friday afternoon and Saturday with strong onshore winds. Clean and easing around Perth Sunday and Monday. Large new S/SW groundswell for Tuesday with morning offshore.
Easing S/SW swell over the coming days with E/NE winds tomorrow and better offshore breezes Friday. Small clean, inconsistent and windy Saturday, with some new W/SW swell for Sunday afternoon on the Mid. Large SW swell for mid-next week.
