Great winds and favourable winds for the weekend, with a shift in attention to the Surf Coast from next week as winds swing more westerly.

The Southern Ocean is still directing southerly energy through the Tasman Sea but it’s all a little more off-axis than the swells that provided fun waves for the first half of this week. Anyway, NE windswells will become the dominant swell train over the coming days. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Nothing of substance until next week hopefully.

Plenty of swell on the way from the west with generally favourable winds for both coasts.
