Huey will be not be offering much in the way of surf for the last days of 2024. The outlook is low energy with weak high pressure moving into the Tasman and no swells of any significance in the near or far swell windows.
The dual lows inbound over the weekend have been upgraded in strength.
The run of surf continues for the Mid Coast with a couple of windows for the South Coast.
Fresh N’lies bring some workable NE windswell for the keen, up to the 2-3ft range. N’lies will blow all day in SEQLD with a trough bringing a S’ly change to Coffs around early morning, late a’noon across the North Coast .
The trough which brings a S’ly change tonight has a brief proximate fetch of strong S-S/SE winds o/night which whips up some local S-SE windswell for Sat. No great size or quality involved.
The surf looks small and weak over the coming days but with favourable conditions, improving to the east Monday. Stronger west swells are due mid-late next week.
Make the most of the coming swells.

Central QLD: Tiny/flat for a while
Small waves today and tomorrow, easing back to tiny into the new year.
Just rideable for XMas Day
Elongated high pressure is moving into the Tasman with an approaching trough, front and cut-off low expected to tighten the pressure gradient leading to freshening N’lies from Boxing Day and some developing NE windswell.
A deep low is moving slowly towards New Zealand but the main bulk of the fetch has already rotated away from the East Coast with an off axis fetch aimed at South Pacific Islands. Elongated high pressure is moving into the Tasman with an approaching trough, front and cut-off low expected to tighten the pressure gradient leading to freshening N’lies from Boxing Day.
