Attention will still be focused on the tropics/sub-tropics as a surface low forms at the northern end of the trough off the CQ coast through Thurs/Fri and tracks southwards into the weekend, bringing (another!) rebuild in E’ly swell.
Synoptic pattern still has a ground-hog day feel to it, with a large, slow moving high inching it’s way across the Tasman and a coastal trough lying parallel to almost the entire East Coast. Change is on the way though.
A mixed period with varying winds and swells, best down South on the weekend.
A fun weekend across spots west of Melbourne with a window to the east next week before a strong, cold low moves in across us.
Through later Wed we’ll see some small NE windswell pop up as the high meanders into the Tasman and the western flank pushes NE winds down the coast from southern NSW into Bass Strait.
Nothing standout with small to tiny waves for the keen through this period.
Sub-tropical troughs and the remnants of TC Gina near New Caledonia are maintaining a deep E’ly flow through the Coral Sea, which has seen plenty of surf across the CQ coast.
Improving conditions from Wednesday with a mix of swells sources, windy and cold from Sunday with a strong polar frontal progression.
Sub-tropical troughs and the remnants of TC Gina near New Caledonia are maintaining a deep E’ly flow through the Coral Sea while the last in a series of powerful cold fronts are now sweeping up past the South Island of New Zealand with small S to SSE swell pulses to come over the next couple of days from this source.
