Broadly speaking the size trend will be steadily up Saturday, and then slowly down on Sunday, with peak of the cycle expected on dark Saturday.

Next week is looking subdued but with periods of mostly favourable winds. The gist of it is a band of blocking high pressure and a suppressed zonal storm track.

Weak high pressure and slack winds in the Coral Sea are leading to a prolonged spell of tiny/flat surf which will extend over the weekend and into next week.

No change to the surf outlook over the weekend which remains small and weak but winds will be all over the place as a trough of low pressure hovers about the NSW North Coast.
