Tasman Low Brings Potential for Bigger Waves Sunday into Monday for Nth NSW.


Regional Key Points - Thursday to Sunday

Sunshine Coast

  • Thursday: Small E/NE swell, light morning offshores before afternoon northerlies. High-volume boards best.

  • Friday: Fresh SE onshore winds and small, choppy surf. Sheltered breaks offer knee-high waves at best.

  • Saturday: Slight increase in short-period SE swell, around waist-high at Maroochydore. Early offshore window at back beaches before afternoon northerlies.

  • Sunday: Small E swell with fresh NW winds early, shifting SE later. Tucked northern corners and south-facing beaches worth checking.

Gold Coast

  • Thursday: Small waist-high surf at D-Bah, with early W offshores favouring open beaches. Points remain slow and full.

  • Friday: Building SE windswell delivers waist to chest-high surf at D-Bah. Cleaner morning conditions around the points before afternoon onshores.

  • Saturday: Waist to chest-high surf at D-Bah, smaller around the points. Early W/NW winds offer cleaner open beaches.

  • Sunday: Building S/SE swell could deliver chest to overhead surf at D-Bah by late afternoon. Fresh S/SW winds favour the points, with smaller waves around Snapper.

Northern NSW

  • Thursday: Small 1-2ft E/NE swell, with early W/NW winds favouring back beaches. High tides slow things down.

  • Friday: Slight SE swell increase, but fresh S/SE onshores leave exposed beaches messy. Sheltered corners offer smaller, cleaner waves.

  • Saturday: Morning window to watch. Waist to chest-high SE swell around Lennox/Ballina, possibly shoulder to head-high sets at southern magnets. Early offshores favour back beaches.

  • Sunday: Building S/SE swell with head-high to well overhead surf possible at southern magnets later afternoon. Fresh southerlies favour sheltered points.

Looking Ahead: Monday could offer one of the better opportunities, with overhead surf and offshore winds possible across Northern NSW and D-Bah. Confidence remains limited, with the Tasman low's swell reach and timing still needing confirmation.
