The rest of the week should hold surfable levels of E/NE-NE swell from winds feeding into a low pressure trough in the Tasman.
Primary tabs
Tiny into tomorrow before a small kick in E/SE swell Fri from the low SE of the South Island which is currently on the edge of the swell window.
The coming period looks very slow with today's south energy due to fade tomorrow. A sneaky, small east groundswell is due on the weekend.
We’ll see a nice S pulses over the weekend as multiple fetches operate on an active sea state.
Compared to Mondays notes the outlook for S swell is improved, mostly due to a better aligned following front which conjoins the initial front and forms a slower moving low in the southern Tasman.
Back up again Thurs from the E-E/NE as winds feeding into the low strengthen before slipping behind NZ.
The trough is linked to a broad low which moves off the South Coast o/night Sun into Mon and does aim up some useful swell generating winds for NETas.
Gales to severe gales from the S through SE will generate another peak in size later today and through tomorrow from the secondary low slingshotting around the primary centre, well positioned in the Tasmanian swell window. Winds from the E-E/NE are also still active in the swell window.
Winds on the south-east to north-east flanks of the low will be gale force E to E/NE infeeds, extending out into the Tasman and Southern Coral Sea, aimed at Central/Southern NSW and down to Tasmania.
Through Mon both the coastal and Coral Sea troughs deepen with a strong and broad E/NE-NE infeed into a developing surface low (possibly some variant of ECL) late Mon o/night into Tues.
