There’s no real change to Friday’s notes, with our current swell easing slowly through Tuesday (3-5ft south facing beaches, bigger in the Hunter but smaller at beaches not open to the south) ahead of two pulses of fresh south swell for Wednesday and Thursday.

Brief period of clean waves around Torquay tomorrow, with average waves expected until winds swing north-east on Thursday.

Now, model derived forecasts are an inexact science at the best of times. So if I were positioned somewhere between Port Mac and say, Yamba, about mid-afternoon on Sunday, I don’t think it’d be unreasonable to glance an expectant eye across the coast in hope of some early forerunners.

Good winds for the most part with Tuesday the pick of the period.
