SA surf outlook Jan 4 – 10 2018

Cool, overcast mornings have been the norm over the last week… but that’s about to end with a run of proper summer weather. But what about swell?

The next few days will be blessed or cursed, depending on your location, by an Easterly airstream. That’ll be good for Yorkes and the Mid ( but swell won’t ), but not great for Victor. There’s a bit of a window of light NE winds on Friday, but it looks like  a sou-easter might come up after lunch. Swell is on the decline over the next few days and into the weekend, until Sunday. Winds look like they will  be fresh from the North on Saturday, ahead of a westerly change sometime after lunch.

IDY30002.primSwell.108Friday and Saturday will be hot with temperatures nudging 40°C and small swell down south, nothing on the Mid and not much over at Yorkes. That should change overnight with new WSW swell building on Sunday. Winds will be onshore at Victor but  there should be enough East and swell in it for small, clean waves on the Mid. West facing breaks at Yorkes look good on Sunday too. Swell will drop a bit on Monday but winds will be similar.

The weather will be cooler on  Sunday, but looks like warming up again next week. Wind map below is for Friday lunchtime.
