Possible small S'ly groundswell later tomrorow and later Friday/Saturday morning at south magnets, though don't get your hopes up.
Strong peak in W/SW swell tomorrow morning with offshore winds, followed by a reinforcing W/SW swell Friday afternoon with favourable winds. Easing surf over the weekend and generally clean.
Inconsistent SW swell tomorrow with decent winds, easing slowly through Friday and the weekend. New W/SW swell energy from mid-next week.
A good mix of easing W/SW swell and stronger S/SW swell tomorrow, with a new pulse of S/SW swell for Friday afternoon, easing through the weekend. Favourable winds for both coasts, best Friday and Saturday morning's down South.
Strong swell with clean conditions for the Surf Coast reefs tomorrow, easing temporarily Friday morning with lighter winds across the state. Strong new swell for the afternoon, easing slowly over the weekend with light winds Saturday morning and an onshore change developing Sunday.
A second, slightly stronger long period S’ly groundswell form the Southern Ocean low may arrive on Saturday.
Large building N'ly swell tomorrow, peaking Wednesday and then easing slowly into the weekend but with average N/NE winds. Better and larger N/NW groundswell for the weekend with good winds, deteriorating later Sunday. More large swell next week.
Wednesday is certainly the pick of the forecast period, though wave heights will be smaller at south facing beaches and through the Northern Hunter.
South-east Queensland and Northern NSW Surf Forecast by Ben Matson (issued Monday 18th December)
Best Days: No great days. Maybe Thurs AM across the Mid North Coast with a small peaky NE swell and a temporary light variable breeze at some locations.
Recap: Stacks of E’ly swell over the last few days throughout SE Qld - easing groundswell Saturday and building tradeswell Sunday and Monday - but smaller south from Yamba.
Small to tiny NE windswell for later tomorrow and Wednesday morning, followed by small flukey pulses of refracted S'ly groundswell.
