So, we’ve got a lot of swell and wind lining up on the weekend charts and graphs. But, the surf outlook it’s not quite as straightforward as you might otherwise think. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Today’s combo of swells has originated from three sources: (1) long period groundswell (just registered 18 seconds at the CdC buoy), from a deep cut off low SW of WA on Tuesday, (2) mid-range swell from the associated front that tracked through the Bight Wed/Thurs, and (3) local windswell from local 20kt NW winds.

OK, we’ve got three days of northerlies ahead (potentially four for those of you north of Ballina), with only one window of light winds to capitalise on. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Another series of poorly aligned fronts are approaching the southern tip of New Zealand from the south-west, and although the swell they’re generating will be aimed into the eastern Tasman Sea and South Pacific, we’ll see a small spread back into Southern NSW. More in the Forecaster Notes.
