Winds slowly improve through this week as long-range W/SW groundswell energy increases slowly in size and power (though not consistency).
A 'bombing low' will deliver an oversized and prolonged south-southeast swell event for the northern NSW coast, with no lack of size across south-east Queensland breaks exposed to the energy.
A 'bombing low' will deliver a significant and dangerous round of south-easterly groundswell through the coming period, only suitable to the most experienced.
So, next week’s looking pretty dynamic, eh? I’ve been talking about this potential ECL since last Monday, and I gotta say - the models have been pretty impressive thus far. There’s very little change to the surf outlook for next week.
Just to be super picky - this low may not end up being an East Coast Low, but instead an Easterly Trough Low (or more common, a boring old Tasman Low). More in the Forecaster Notes.
A slow weekend ahead of building levels of large E'ly swell next week, windy and onshore at first and then improving later week.
Tiny waves on the weekend for the keen. Better options further afield this period.
Non-stop swell on the way but winds will deteriorate with limited windows for a quality wave.
Nothing amazing on the weekend but you'll find a small, clean wave tomorrow. New swells with favourable winds developing from mid-next week.
A run of average surf after winds turn onshore through the weekend, cleaning up later week with some inconsistent but fun new groundswell energy,
