What I like most about this swell event is that the system responsible for it weakens only slowly through its passage under the continent, which means the backside of the peak - on Friday - will ease only slowly in size.

Despite the current easing trend in NE windswell, the fetch off the coast is expected to remain at strength overnight and into Saturday morning. 

New SW and S/SE swells for the weekend but with onshore winds. Good new swell for later Monday, but onshore again. Clean early Tuesday. Another good swell late next week but with average winds.

Weak W/SW swell for the Mid tomorrow with S/SE winds, onshore down South. Cleaner and peaky South Coast Sunday morning with easing surf, then much cleaner Monday and Tuesday. Strong W/SW swell later next week with S/SE winds.
