SURF FORECAST

POWERED BY COASTALWATCH

A sustained run of SSE swell keep wave-heights ranging from 2 to 5ft across northern NSW coasts for the remainder of the working week, while wrapping at lower 1 to 3ft levels north of the border. A new round of NE windswell sets in this weekend, probably only showing peak size at a junky 2 to 3ft plus on Sunday, before rapidly dissipating on Monday.

TODAY

Leftover SSE swell ranging from 2 to 3ft northern NSW southern exposures, bumping up as reinforcing SSE groundswell fills in later. Sets ranging from 1 to 2ft exposed Qld breaks, grading smaller along the points and bays. WIND: Early light and variable turning E/NE 10 to 15 knots during the day.

TOMORROW

Easing SSE groundswell crossed by slight NE windswell. Windaffected 2 to 4ft sets northern NSW south facing beaches, fading during the afternoon. Smaller, junky 1 to 3ft southern Qld exposed coasts, deteriorating during the day. WIND: Early light N inshore turning NNE to NE 10 to 15 knots, freshening to 15 to 25 knots during the afternoon.

SUNDAY

Potential for NE windswell up to a windblown 2 to 3ft exposed beaches, bumping up during the day. Grading smaller inside the points and bays with size depending on exposure. WIND: Potentially light N to NW, tending light and variable later.

MONDAY

NE windswell easing. Around 2 to 3ft exposed open coasts early, grading smaller elsewhere with size depending on exposure and fading during the day. WIND: Early light west to southwesterly land-breezes tending light and variable, then to light seabreezes in the afternoon.

Mix of leftover NE swell and small S swell. Mostly ranging from 1 to 2ft+ exposed open and south facing coasts, grading smaller elsewhere. WIND: Early WSW to SSW 5 to 15 knots tending light easterly seabreezes in the afternoon. KEEP UP TO DATE: DOWNLOAD THE COASTALWATCH ‘SURF CHECK’ APP
