Today's swell will ease over the coming days ahead of a large, powerful groundswell early next week.

The coming period looks less favourable with the Mid Coast swells peaking with onshore winds, mostly onshore down South.

We’re still looking at a peak in S swell Mon but the frontal passage responsible for it now looks more mobile and poorly aligned so wave heights get a haircut.

Once the new high sets up shop in the Tasman we’ll see a weak E’ly flow set up in the Coral Sea which will generate a tiny, just rideable surf into the weekend.
