We've had a good run but we look to be entering a slower period ahead of more action from next weekend.

Severe tropical cyclone (Cat3) Gabrielle is currently tracking SE at about 21 knots and is located about 413 nm NE of Brisbane. Early incarnations of the TC as it was drifting SW showed a fetch of storm force to severe gale NE winds around the NE quadrant which is producing a rare NNE-NE long period swell
Decent winds for the weekend with a fun sized swell for the South West. Larger surf is due next week but with dicey winds.
Severe tropical cyclone (Cat3) Gabrielle is currently tracking SE at about 16 knots and is located about 455 nm NE of Brisbane.
Weak windswells and average winds for the weekend, better into next week with a tiny, teasing swell on the Mid, better down South from Wednesday.
Distant W/SW swells with favourable winds developing from mid-next week following a trough and change tomorrow afternoon/Sunday.
We should start to see some long period N/NE swell appear, generated by the early stages of TC Gabrielle (developing tonight, actually).
There's not much to work with over the coming days, but next week we'll see strong energy from ex-TC Gabrielle.
Over the next couple of days, TC Gabrielle will strengthen considerably and track south-east through the Coral Sea, enroute to the Northern Tasman.
The current swell will ease, best tomorrow.
