The trade-wind fetch is relatively robust and will be a long-lasting swell producer for the east coast, favouring sub-tropical areas for size. Confidence is low on the track for TC Alfred and thus it’s surf potential- a general slow southwards movement is expected which is favourable but we may still see a coastal crossing before the cyclone reaches it’s full potential as a surf generator.

The coming outlook is favourable with fun swell pulses with generally favourable winds.

We've got plenty more fun swell pulses for the Mid Coast due, though today is the biggest and best.

Today's building west swell will ease over the coming days as conditions improve across the beaches. Building levels of W/SW swell are then due from later week through the weekend.
