After a rare summer weekend of light WNW winds, onshores have returned to the South Coast… and look like cursing the rest of the week. On the upside, a new WSW swell and light SE winds delivered some fun waves on the Mid Coast early Monday.
Overnight winds will shift more Southerly and will probably have a fair bit of South in them at around 10 -15 knots early Tuesday. There should be a few 1 – 2′ waves on the Mid if you don’t mind a bit of a bump. Of some interest is a rising SW swell ( 3 – 5m ) early Tuesday. While most of the South Coast will be onshore slops, a few sneaky spots the other side of Victor might get a guernsey after lunch if the wind is SE. This SW swell will ease and tend more WSW into Wednesday, but another pulse from about the same direction will set up a similar scenario on Thursday.
West facing breaks at Yorkes will have a reasonable week with something surfable ( 2 – 4′ ) almost every day, and ESE winds Wednesday and Friday. The Mid Coast will also have small waves ( 1 – 1.5′ ) almost every day this week, swell will be a bit bigger on Tuesday but winds will be better on Wednesday. Friday may get a small top-up in swell. The South Coast east of Waits and Parson’s will be messy for most of the week and in the 3 – 5′ range, with S-SE winds between 10 and 20 knots dominating.
Onshores looks like persisting on the South Coast into next weekend, and a small SW swell will ease from about 1′ on the Mid Coast. Things of course, may all change later in the week. Watch this space for updates!
