The weekend will offer the most size, though it won't be the cleanest.
Poor tomorrow, better Friday

We've got a few more pulses of swell to come this period, cleanest as they ease.. as always.
Surf likely to get L to XL as TC Alfred approaches CQ coast

If we get the CQ crossing, very serious surf in the 8ft range or bigger is likely Mon into Tues.
Small surf filtering down from the tropics continues

High pressure is in the Tasman with three tropical cyclones currently on the map. NETas will see some smaller surf from these systems as well as NE windswell.
Three cyclones now on the map with plenty of swell- possibly large if TC Alfred approaches SEQLD

TC Alfred is in the Coral Sea, currently about a 1000km NE of Mackay and slow moving, expected to slowly track southwards from today. TC Rae has sped off SE to the graveyard and TC Seru is located between Vanuatu and Fiji and moving S/SE. In this complex brew, we’ll see multiple swell trains from the NE-E quadrant, although large swells may be confined to more northerly regions as models firm on a CQ coastal crossing for TC Alfred (still uncertainty over this track!) and the South Pacific cyclones track south-eastward, then eastwards as dissipating systems.
Complex brew with three cyclones on the map- modest surf the most likely outcome
