Southerly energy is likely to fade throughout Thursday form the 3-4ft range, although the quality of the surf won't be anything to get excited about. For the remainder of the forecast period, easterly trade-swell will be the dominant source of energy. Morning's variable/offshore breezes hold the best opportunity for a wave.
Small tomorrow, with a late increase in new SW swell, peaking Friday with early light S'ly winds. Poor weekend with a good long-range swell for next Tuesday with hopefully variable winds.
Fun clean Mid tomorrow morning, workable but peaky South Coast, clean into Friday and the weekend with smaller surf best suited to exposed coasts.
Reinforcing W/SW swell with morning offshores for the Surf Coast tomorrow, easing from Friday with better winds for the Mornington Peninsula. Small average weekend, poorer into next week.
Easing surf ahead of a moderate to large N/NW swell Wednesday, easing into the end of the week. Large, powerful NW tending N/NW groundswell for the weekend with weaker E/NE trades.
All in all, this is a very good swell and wind pattern for December in SE Qld.
Tricky W/SW swell pulses over the coming days, probably the most reliable filling in Thursday morning.
New mix of swells tomorrow with offshore winds, easing Wednesday with better winds. Poor conditons for the remainder of the period with no significant swells until maybe next week.
Open beaches have a good looking little NE swell on the cards for Tuesday morning, fading thereafter. The effects of a long range, but inconsistent E/NE swell should then come into play from the end of the week, and across the weekend. Winds aren't looking too promising for the weekend at this stage.
The swell direction for the coming week will be out of the E/NE so open beaches will be the pick for the most size. Seabreezes are likely each afternoon, so hit it early for the best conditions. Keep in mind, the source of this swell is quite long range, so consistency is likely to be lacking.
