We’re past the peak of the current S swell event as the large low pressure system drifts towards New Zealand, weakening as it does so and a more mobile high pressure system moves north-east into the Tasman Sea, bringing N’ly winds.
Get out early tomorrow before the wind gets into it and then try and work around the cleaner conditions mid-later next week.
Perth and Mandurah will improve quicker than the South West, with early next week providing the best conditions as the swell eases.
Make the most of the cleaner conditions on the South Coast before the cold weather, wind and stormy surf returns Sunday/Monday.
Fun waves for the beaches today and tomorrow morning before we see a swing in the wind and weather, favouring protected spots.
The complex low system we mentioned Mon is now moving into position with a small low cell East of Tasmania and a deeper parent low tracking through the lower Tasman. The low east of Tasmania moves NE and joins other areas of troughy low pressure to form a large low pressure gyre which occupies most of the Tasman Sea through the latter part of this week.
The low east of Tasmania moves NE and joins other areas of troughy low pressure to form a large low pressure gyre which occupies most of the Tasman Sea through the latter part of this week. Surf size will be limited by the relatively weak supporting high pressure cell which is currently tracking through the Bight. We’re still looking at plenty of moderate size surf from the S quadrant to end the week and carry through into the start of the weekend.
There's a ton of swell inbound but conditions will be tricky to work around due to mostly unfavourable local winds.
We've got strong winds and building surf over the coming days with improving quality across Perth and Mandurah through the weekend, more so Monday in the South West.
