Flag the weekend... We've got some good waves on the way for early next week.
Into next week and very active Indian Ocean storm track spawns a slow moving massive gyre with multiple (at least 3) back to back to back severe gale fetches which will generate L to XL surf, primarily benefitting the NW and Indonesia. SW WA will be mostly in the storm track and thus subject to a mostly stormy, onshore flow, with the breaks between onshore episodes unlikely to be sufficient for surf to clean up away from a few select winter spots.
The main features for the weekend are a rapidly easing swell and a steadily abating wind that'll tend westerly on Saturday before becoming light and variable on Sunday.
Into next week and a fresh, strong high generates a SE surge through Mon that should seed a fresh round of fun surf for CQ.
The headline act is a complex low system approaching Tasmania with an embedded front and linked to a long inland trough. A NE infeed into this system is producing swell from that quarter today and as the low clears the swell shadow of Tasmania we’ll start to see swells from the S. Following systems next week look to generate stronger, longer period S’ly swells.

The weekend outlook has one main trend for the swell (down) but a few interesting fluctuations in the wind department.

A front and small low are now racing across the Tasman with a high over NSW moving into the Tasman and directing a freshening N’ly flow across most of the Eastern Seaboard down to Tasmania. So far, so spring. A complex low, front and trough then approaches from the W, bringing a strong regime of W’ly-SW’ly winds and a series of S swells.
We've got varying winds and swells over the coming period thanks to a significant, deepening low across us on Friday.
