Next week is very tricky.
Primary tabs
Friday looks much better on the surface though with winds swinging to the NW as a weak trough moves over the area. This should clean up the beachies nicely and provide some excellent waves to finish the working week.
For my money, Friday is the pick of the working week.
Lots of interesting swell sources next week, though we’re still looking at a stubborn ridge of high pressure in the Tasman Sea, ensuring our near swell window remains relatively quiet.
The weekend’s wind outlook has been reversed since Monday’s notes.
Our best new swell source for the coming week is Tropical Cyclone Josie, which formed south-west of Fiji over the weekend.
A series of powerful though poorly aligned Southern Ocean fronts and lows below Tasmania next week will generate small levels of southerly groundswell for Southern NSW.
We have some inbound energy from ex-TC Iris, which is positioned in the lower Coral Sea.
Long term prospects remain dynamic.
