Windy, cold and with persistent swell energy from the south-eastern quadrant.

The surf will bottom out tomorrow morning but increase from there, with fun swells due from the afternoon through most of next week.

The end of the week will be poor ahead of a window of lighter winds Saturday, though with a sizey swell for the beaches.

The next round of swell will be acute from the south, sourced from W/SW gales exiting eastern Bass Strait from this evening onwards, in associated with the same change that rocketed across the coast this afternoon.
