The abrupt onset of our easterly swell-season over the past few days probably hasn’t exactly produced the surfing goods you might have been dreaming of when the deepening trough appeared on the forecast charts earlier this month.
Instead, we’ve seen heavy, way-out-of-control, storm-swell hammering southern Queensland and northern NSW coasts over the last three days, while spreading further south to produce consistent, mid to large ENE swell, with persistent onshore winds keeping a lid on quality all the while.
