A reasonable ridge is building through the lower Coral Sea, and will extend out across the Northern Tasman Sea over the coming days. This will be a useful source of E’ly swell for most coasts. More in the Forecaster Notes. 

Nothing major this week with today's swell due to fade, replaced by weak local windswells. There's some improved potential for next week.

A strong, great quality though inconsistent groundswell is on the way though a heat trough and developing low will bring varying winds across the state.

The swells and winds for the coming period aren't especially good but there are windows of workable, fun waves for those with low expectations throughout the week and weekend.
