A fun swell with cleaner conditions is due tomorrow, with a decent window of building swell and clean conditions Thursday. The weekend looks large and stormy.
The trough is expected to move offshore and merge with a more tropical derived depression to form a large trough of low pressure in the Tasman over the weekend. This has been a feature of synoptic prognostic charts for a few weeks now, with forecasts generally tending to weaken and fall apart as the event unfolds.
A trough will extend along the East coast before a front through the latter half of the week brings vigorous S’ly winds by Fri. The trough is expected to move offshore and merge with a more tropical derived depression to form a large trough of low pressure in the Tasman over the weekend. This has been a feature of synoptic prognostic charts for a few weeks now, with forecasts generally tending to weaken and fall apart as the event unfolds. Lets hope this one comes to fruition to deliver some chunky S-SE swell.
We've got less reliable swells and winds over the coming week, ahead of a strong new W/SW groundswell early next week.
As winter nears an end, the run of excellent surf and conditions begins to fall apart.
We've got plenty of swell to work with this weekend with varying but mostly light winds apart from Sunday afternoon.
We’ve got tradewinds now established in the Central Coral Sea and the development of small, fun surf across CQ.
We may see some more local E/NE swell to 2ft fill in as winds feed into a trough off the Gippsland coast which drifts down towards Flinders Island.
We’ve still got the basic building blocks in place that we mentioned on Wed with the proviso that everything looks a little weaker and disjointed. High pressure moves NE of Tasmania and the troughs remain inland, although we may see a weaker trough area move off the North Coast of NSW early in the week. SE-E/SE tradewinds are established in the Central Coral Sea and will supply small tradewind swell for the first half of the week at least.
