A weak front tips the SW of the state and brings an onshore W’ly Sat, tending SW on Sun, more SE in Perth/Mandurah. We’ll see some moderate pulses over the weekend, from follow-up fetches to tomorrows cold front

Leftover S/SE-SE swell from the last stages of the fetch as it lingered in the Eastern Tasman abutting New Zealand should hold some 3ft sets through most of the day, albeit slow and inconsistent. Mixed in will be an inconsistent signal of E swell, not offering more than the occasional 2-3ft set.

Easing swells will continue through the rest of the week, with Thursday the pick of the forecast period. However there won't be a lot of size on offer.

High pressure moves into the Tasman as we end the week with a dominant role into next week as tradewinds develop in the Coral Sea, with a good surf pattern expected for CQ.
