There is some swell on the way...but you'll have to be patient! The first pulse of groundswell will hit the coast on Saturday arvo producing waves around 1-2 foot on Sunday with light SE winds. A second pulse will hit on Monday taking the wave height up to 3 foot.

I'm not sure that you missed much today down at the beach with 1 foot waves and strong offshore winds. Even smaller for the next few days. It will be worth a swim tomorrow though with the mercury topping 30.

Although the inshore buoys were only indicating a 0.4m swell this morning I was surprised to see a few fun waves pushing through at Scarborough... and only 4 guys in the water! The swell is still on the increase this afternoon and hopefully the winds will stay offshore for a while. It might be worth a look.

It also seems that maybe we're back to Spring swell patterns. Some small to flat periods with a little lump every now and then. Today and tomorrow are the the smallish days while Wednesday and Thursday are looking pretty good. We can expect around 2+ foot of WSW swell in the metro area on Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday morning. 4-6 foot in the South West.
