Plenty of size for the Mid Coast on the weekend with workable conditions Saturday, options on the South Coast over the period.
We'll see conditions improve across the beaches tomorrow but with a fading swell, bottoming out Friday. A new mix of swells are due into the weekend but with deteriorating local winds.
A much stronger high is moving into the classic La Niña slot- SE of Tasmania- where it will start to be squeezed by another approaching inland trough and complex low pressure system. That will see increasing NE winds come into play from mid-week with increasing levels of NE windswell.
We've got an upgrade in swell for the coming days but with generally poor conditions.
Make the most of today across Margs before onshore winds kick in tomorrow afternoon and write-off the surf until later week.

That will see increasing E- NE winds come into play from mid-week with increasing levels of NE-E/NE windswell, especially on the Mid North Coast. Frontal progressions passing well to the south no longer have a strong surge into the Tasman but will send mid/long period pulses of S-SSE swell our way from mid week while a strong developing trade-wind flow will keep swell chugging away from the E into next week. A very active outlook for October.

Besides tomorrow there'll be favourable winds and a fun swell from Wednesday, with a fun Mid Coast swell for the weekend, onshore down South.
Make the most of today as windows of clean conditions with any size will be limited over the coming period.
No great change to the weekend f/cast. Wind and swell regimens will be dominated by the low in the Tasman, which is now retreating towards the North Island with a large (1037hPa) high south of Tasmania. Pressure gradients do slowly ease over the weekend as the high relaxes over warm Tasman sea waters and the low sets up near the North Island.
