SURF FORECAST

SUMMARY

A continued run of S swell favours northern NSW coasts throughout the outlook period; initially hanging in around 2 to 3ft today ahead of a stronger, long-period S groundswell showing up at slow 3 to 4ft levels tomorrow. This pulse backs off again by Sunday ahead of a series of new S swells arriving over the course of next week.

TODAY

SSE swell around 1 to 3ft northern NSW south facing breaks, grading to 1 to 2ft at best across Queensland’s exposed beaches and near flat along the points and inside the bays. WIND: Light WSW to SW inshore, tending light and variable, then N to NE later.

TOMORROW

Long period S groundswell fills in. Potential for 2 to 4ft waves across northern NSW southern exposures with long waits between sets. Expect smaller 2 to 3ft sets elsewhere, wrapping at 1 to 2ft exposed Queensland beaches, grading to 1ft or less inside the points and bays. WIND: WSW to SSW 5 to 10 knots tending light and variable to light SE later.
