We've got blocking high pressure and an unfavourable storm track, with all Southern Ocean frontal activity being diverted north up towards South Australia and Victoria.
Yesterday’s W’ly change was the herald for a strong frontal progression which is currently unfolding at the gateway to the Tasman Sea. We have a front tied to a small low E of Tasmania with a much deeper parent low well to the south of Tasmania. There are multiple swell generating fetches associated with this complex low arrangement.
Plenty of swell for the South Coast with abating and improving winds for the South Coast. The Mid Coast will also ease in size, tiny when cleanest.
Cold, wintery weather and surf, peaking in size through Wednesday as the swell angle shifts more south along with an increase in period.
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.
