Options over the coming days will become smaller as the swell eases. Winds will improve slowly down South but with fading surf. Early-mid next week holds more promise for the Mid Coast.
Expect poor conditions and winds at the peak of swells, cleanest when the size and energy is gone.
Next possible surf is this weekend a a tropical low is expected to drift down from the Far North QLD coast. We should see an infeed of E/NE winds later Fri, leading to a fast rising spike in E swell Sat.

Current ASCAT (satellite windspeed) passes show a board fetch of strong E’ly winds now tracking SSW-SW back into the Tasman from a position half-way between New Caledonia and the North Island, generating solid ENE’ly swells which will radiate from the sub-tropics down to Eastern Tasmania this week.
Onshore winds will plague this week, with cleaner conditions due from the weekend.
A tropical low which hived off the monsoon trough and which has been providing days of chunky E swell to sub-tropical regions is now, finally, on the move. Compared to model runs the system has been much more slow moving than f/cast- which is maintaining plenty of strong E swell across our sub-tropical region.
Cleaner conditions with easing S/SW swell over the coming days. We'll see the surf build through the weekend ahead of a large groundswell Monday.
Nothing major this week with some small slow waves on the Mid, better next week.
A tropical low which hived off the monsoon trough and which has been providing days of chunky E swell to sub-tropical regions is now, finally, on the move. Compared to model runs the system has been much more slow moving than f/cast- which is delaying the arrival of stronger E/NE swell to temperate NSW.
