SURF FORECAST

-

While nothing of great significan­ce we should see few windows of opportunit­y present themselves throughout the week ahead. Winds shift into the NE today creating a minor rise in NE wind swell. This minor kick in short period is expected to hold tomorrow morning under period of light NW morning winds. With this we should potentiall­y see some small although clean options arise across much of the coast.

TODAY

Smaller E swell overlapped by a minor NE windswell from around 1 to 2ft+ exposed breaks, grading small/tiny elsewhere with size depending on exposure. WIND: Early light NW/NNW inshore, tending NNE 15 to 20 knots later.

TOMORROW

Mix of small E swell and peaky NE wind swell early before a new south swell fills in later. Peaky 1 to 3ft exposed breaks easing before a new south swell fills in later. WIND: Early WNW to NW, easing and turning WSW to SW before a fresh SSE change at 15 to 25 knots, freshening to 20 to 30 knots later.

FRIDAY

New SSE swell shows across the coast under fresh south, SSE winds. Ranging from a windblown 3 to 5ft at exposed northern NSW beaches. Grading semi clean 2 to 3ft along the SE Qld coasts. WIND: Early inshore SSW turning SSE 20 to 25 knots, tending SE and easing to 15 to 20 knots in the afternoon.

SATURDAY

SSE swell slowly eases under moderate SSE winds. Up to 2 to 3ft+ across northern NSW south facing coasts, easing. Grading 1 to 2ft+ exposed Qld breaks, easing. WIND: Early lighter WSW to SW inshore, tending SE at 10 to 15 knots, then ESE and easing later.

SUNDAY

Small ESE swell overlapped by an inconsiste­nt south groundswel­l throughout the day. Ranging from 1 to 3ft at exposed northern NSW beaches, grading 1 to 2ft ESE swell across exposed southern Qld beaches. WIND: Early light inshore tending E to NE in the 10 to 15 knots range.
