From late Monday or Tuesday onwards, we will also start to see a building E/NE swell originating from a broadening E'ly fetch around the southern flank of TD04F (a tropical depression currently delivering a deluge to Fiji) which may be upgraded to a Category 1 Tropical Cyclone this evening.
The models are a little more confident for a fun NE swell on Saturday than I am.
Flukey NE swell tomorrow and S'ly swell late Sunday. Better chance of surf Tuesday with a N/NE windswell and westerly change through the day.
Tiny most of tomorrow ahead of a late kick in swell, peaking Sunday morning with westerly winds. Tiny and clean Monday with some new W/SW swell mid-late week but with dicey winds.
Small mid-period swell for tomorrow with fresh easing offshore winds, average Sunday. Solid W/SW groundswell filling in Monday, cleaner and easing Tuesday.
Average tomorrow with fun peaky waves on the South Coast Sunday morning. Cleaner and better Monday morning. Strong W/SW swell for later Tuesday and Wednesday with less than ideal winds.
Smaller surf tomorrow with a morning W'ly around Torquay ahead of a strong change. Mix of swells Saturday but not the best conditions, cleaner and easing on both coasts Monday. Good sized W/SW swell for Wednesday and Thursday.
Easing N/NE swell tomorrow with a building N/NW swell Friday but with fresh onshore winds, easing Saturday as poor winds continue. Good inconsistent swell Sunday afternoon with OK winds, better Monday.
Although the ridge responsible for our small trade swell of the last few days has slowly retreated eastwards, the models are maintaining small levels of east swell from Thursday right through into the weekend.
Overall, nothing special - and there’s certainly a chance local winds could throw a spanner into the works - but exposed beaches should have some little peaks to finish the working week.
