Small fun waves to end the week ahead of a strong new swell that will peak through the weekend with varying winds. There's a solid swell on the way for next week but winds could spoil things.
Primary tabs
Drop in swell but all day offshore winds tomorrow and early Wednesday ahead of a S/SE change. Strong new long-period SW groundswell kicking late Friday and peaking early Saturday with good winds.
Here it comes: after an extended period of tiny, blowy conditions we’re about to see a major upswing in wave heights as the storm track finally aligns properly in our swell window.
We’re in the midst of a blustery synoptic pattern as a series of strong Southern Ocean fronts push through the Bight.
No change to Thursday’s outlook. The Southern Ocean remains very active, but completely aligned out of our swell window.
Unfortunately our bleak outlook remains as were a few days ago.
The storm track just isn’t favourable for the South Arm at the moment.
No changes to the outlook for the next few days.
Our broader swell window has been devoid of activity for the last few days so we’re looking at an extended spell of tiny surf for the next few days.
The synoptic chart looks very impressive with a deep low immediately to our south, and Cape Sorell buoy showing a lot of energy - however the main fetch around the western flank of the low is outside our swell window, aimed up into SA and western Vic.
