It’s a great synoptic pattern for swell on the Mid Coast though we’ve obviously got a lot of onshore wind to deal with.

Look, we can delve into the nitty gritty of the outlook but the long and short is that we’ve got an extended period of craptacular conditions on the way, thanks to a sustained frontal progression across the southern half of the state. However, next weekend is looking potentially fantastic at this stage.

No change to Thursday’s outlook. The Southern Ocean remains very active, but completely aligned out of our swell window.

This will kick up a fresh south swell for Sunday, though it’ll only get into a handful of exposed south swell magnets as it glances the coast.
