A trough moving north from a position east of Tasmania brings a vigorous S’ly change tomorrow extending into Fri before the summer pattern slowly resets over the weekend. Any large or moderate swell generating features have disappeared from the charts, alas.
Onshore winds will persist into the end of the week, with cleaner conditions due on the weekend and into next week with small swell pulses.
The end of the week will be poor but the weekend looks fun on the beaches but with easing surf. Early next week looks OK as well.
A slow week in Indonesia, better across the Maldvies, with swell due from the weekend and into next week.
The high in the Tasman sets up some sort of trade flow in the Coral Sea later this week and into the next. It’s not much of a fetch, mostly weak, disjointed and located at the extremity of the Coral Sea (close to New Caledonia) but it should be enough too see some just rideable surf for late this week.
There's plenty of swell this period though with tricky winds and limited windows of clean conditions.
This NE windswell should perk up a notch into Wed as a fetch off the NSW South Coast increases in strength and extends into Eastern Bass Strait.
Varying swell pulses with favourable winds from Thursday through the weekend.
We’ve got a moderate strength high pressure cell (1025hPa) in the Tasman, connected to a high pressure belt under the continent, directing NE winds in Central/Southern NSW, more E-SE in the sub-tropics where a broad troughy area is directing a stronger onshore flow and whipping up local swells from that direction.
Conditions will be generally average this week with cleaner conditions due on the weekend but with small, weak surf.
