A huge swell is forecast to hit Victoria’s coastline today, with waves as big as 10-15 metres set to occur according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

 

Senior forecaster Chris Godfred said a strong cold front is expected to move across Bass Strait to create large waves.

 

Mr Godfred said the waves would not be that big close to shore, but would still provide some spectacular conditions at Bells Beach

 

"You might get the odd wave out in the open water that could be well above 10m or even getting pretty close to 14 or 15m during the afternoon and in the evening." he said.
