Although we’re still some time away from the inbound W’ly swell to reach Cape Sorell, there are some other upstream data points that can assist in the decision making process.
High pressure is now moving away and the fetch in the Coral Sea is expected to ease over the weekend and migrate south and eastwards.
Surf-wise, whatever configuration of low pressure we end up getting, a broad E’ly infeed in the Southern Coral Sea and Northern Tasman as well as one off the South Coast aimed at Tasmania will generate plenty of E/NE’ly swell into early-mid week.

Plenty of chunky short range S swell through Sun as the low generates a proximate fetch of S’ly low end gales along the south coast to Hunter.
The storm track is unfavourably aligned for the South Arm at the moment, so we’re looking at a quiet end to the surfing week.
We’ve got some fun waves ahead to finish the working week along the Mid Coast.
A complex low with multiple centres and fronts is aiming fetches of gales to severe gales at WA over the next 36hrs.
We’re on the backside of this most recent pulse and wave heights will continue to ease through Thursday and Friday. But.. I'm really not feeling it for the weekend any more.
Very La Niña-esque synoptic pattern with a strong 1035hPa high sitting in the Tasman directing an E’ly flow into a coastal trough stretched from Central QLD to the South Coast NSW.
