Check out the Willyweather swell on upper east coast
Sunday 4.5m swell with 18kts NE winds
Monday 6.7m swell with no wind.
......... never seen a forecast like that the surfers will be going nuts. Sunday might be worth a trip though it will be garranteed very wet.
BOM says different Sunday 20-30kts NNE with 3m swell

Yeah Ant. Looks REALLY hard to pick what will happen wind-wise on Sunday. Off the coast it looks strong (20+), but in close it could be fickle (sub 15). And changing a lot through the day. Not sure I want to be attempting to get out in 4+m swell with an iffy breeze.

Just heard the weather man on abc radio he said none of the staff there had recorded an east coast swell like this one and the oldest had been there 20 years.......... Marty don't get spooked by a fickle wind 7m isn't that big

better go and take a pic of your local beach, erosion will be something else if this comes through
