A strong front pushed into off the NSW coast the Tasman Sea overnight, and it’s generating a flush of south swell that’ll fill in this evening and provide a nice boost in surf size across Northern NSW on Tuesday.

Mate. Thanks for the 2 cams, been a while but these look better. it probably wont increase crowds because there is no carparks available most days.

"More interesting is a potential flukey long period southerly swell, generated by a broad, vigorous storm progression through the Southern Indian Ocean over the weekend, midway between Heard Island and Western Australia.
This system is right on the periphery of our acute south swell window, and also a heck of a long distance away, and with poor winds a possibility it’s not worth getting too excited about."
I was reading this and thought notes got mixed up with WA's but I suppose its scooted across underneath us by now otherwise:
Refraction...a lot of refraction may be required for that swell source to give us a reach around.

It's sitting at such a low latitude, and has such a long, wide fetch, that it's a possible swell source.

What sort of swell periods would we be expecting on the wave buoys from this fetch?

Edit: just looked at the wams and looks to be two swell fronts both with forerunners in the 20-21 sec band.

That'll be leading edge but the bulk energy prob around 16-18.

I see some swell output is showing some 23 sec stuff on Sat.

Had some super fun waves this morning. Fast peeling rights. The odd occasionally left.

Got rolled by one mackin set early in the piece. Was meaty as Fck with some real long period grunt to it.

Didn’t see another set like it all morning.

I left Bribie in the dark and was in the Noosa Carpark before 6.
Could just see faint lines at Tea Tree and Granites but was quite surprised how much long range E'ly energy was showing out at Hells Gates.

Long lulls but 3/4 wave sets and almost too dangerous to fish.

Hey Ben, how much credibility are you attaching to the cradled low under Fiji that GFS is showing early next week? It slips pretty quickly east though the cradling high has a long fetch of trade winds aimed straight at NE NSW/SE Qld. Would be epic if it eventuates per current model run.

You mean the system developing off the SE Qld coast, or the later incarnation south of Fiji? Regardless, the broad scale pattern beyond the weekend is reasonably well aligned which suggests our eastern swell window will be very active for much of next week, so I'd give it reasonably good confidence at the moment. But.. Steve's thoughts may differ (he's updating the notes today).

Thanks for your response Ben. Yes, I was referring to the later incarnation south of Fiji on Mon/Tue next week. Looking forward to hearing Steve's thoughts.

Def looks like an unseasonal Ely swell event unfolding next week.
