The Indian Ocean remains in a progressive pattern with a large high pressure belt and zonal disturbances in the Roaring 40’s supplying moderate overlapping SW pulses on a 24-36hr basis. Basically, overlapping swell pulses from these zonal storms will hold moderate surf all week, with subtle ups and downs.

Next week is looking subdued but with periods of mostly favourable winds. The gist of it is a band of blocking high pressure and a suppressed zonal storm track.

Next week still looks iffy for winds as a node of the long wave trough steers fronts into the SW while slow moving high pressure sits in the Central Indian Ocean. Those fronts will maintain a moderate sized series of SW pulses from Tues.
