Not a great deal of change to the weekend f/cast other than the current SE surge lifting wave heights a notch into Sun as winds freshen through the Wide Bay/CQ region.
A much more significant increase in NE windswell is expected for Sun as the fetch ramps up down the NSW South Coast and into Bass Strait.
Surf-wise the fetch off the top of the high and a broad troughy area, holds another round of E’ly quadrant swell in the 2-3ft range, very similar to the last round. Quality will be wind affected but we should see light enough winds in the morning for glassy lightly wind affected surf.
There's a mix of swells with winds generally from the south-eastern quadrant over the coming period.
Quite a healthy looking N-NE fetch extending along the NSW coast to start next week - favouring Central/Southern NSW as is typical.
The weekend will be generally small but with light, favourable winds for the South Coast.
Hit the exposed breaks for clean conditions and fun surf over the coming days.
Building surf into the weekend, persisting next week as westerly winds develop.
A trough moving north from a position east of Tasmania brings a renewal of the S’ly pattern into Fri but not extending into the Coral Sea due to another troughy area in the Northern Tasman which confines E’ly winds to below the CQ swell window.
A trough moving north from a position east of Tasmania brings a renewal of the S’ly pattern today into Fri before the summer pattern slowly resets over the weekend. Any large or moderate swell generating features have disappeared from the charts, alas but there’ll be some fun swell sources for NETas.
