No change to the spring pattern as we move through next week.

While these fetches are more directly aimed at Pacific targets we’ll see plenty of long period S swell wrap through the short term into the weekend.
A passage of fronts tied to a polar low generates plenty of swell as the polar low becomes slow moving in Tasmanian longitudes early Wed.
S’ly winds freshen along the NSW coastline, building from Southern NSW and extending northwards through the day as a trough of low pressure develops, and deepens into a broad surface low.
Weak high pressure is moving in over the continent with a highly mobile passage across the Tasman from tomorrow. Rapid movement of fronts re-occurs over the weekend with a stronger S swell signal now expected into next week.
High pressure is in the Tasman in typical spring position- with a N’ly flow being enhanced as a mid-latitude low approaches from well south of the Bight.
Nothing major on the radar next week so we’ll be relying on small S pulses for a wave at S magnets.
We should then see a low centred just off Sydney rapidly deepen o/night into tomorrow morning with NW’ly winds across the region shifting W-SW through the day. The low moves away quickly tomorrow with winds moderating quickly into and through Friday.
So for all intents and purposes we can expect an ordinary run of waves in the short term, with mainly small residual swells (NE windswell and minor S’ly groundswell) along with freshening northerly winds on Tuesday and Wednesday.
We’ll see some waves for Fathers Day. Nothing exceptional or inspiring but winds should lay down with light breezes all day, tending NE in the a’noon so workable conditions for most of the day, perhaps requiring a good backbench in the a’noon.
