The coming week looks to be the best of the period.

The front responsible for today’s large southerly swell has already exited our swell window, so we’re looking at a steady drop in size from Tuesday onwards.

The coming days look best for the South Coast but watch out for a possible algal slick.

A new long period groundswell is then expected to rebuild into Wednesday, sourced from an intense polar low skirting the ice shelf on Sunday.
