Surf now looks fun without being spectacular. A polar low passing to the south is sending long period S swells up the pipe. A modest but broad trade fetch in the Coral Sea is supplying some small E’ly tradeswell.

Overall though, the surf potential has been toned down as windspeeds remain limiting and the system dissipates as it lingers in the Tasman. Local winds also take a couple of days to improve.

Some decent sized swell is due tomorrow with tricky winds, cleaner and easing Sunday.

Poor tomorrow, good Sunday and then XL next week with an improved wind outlook.
