Strong SSW-SW swell from a front which tracked past Heard Island generating a wind swathe of seas in excess of 20ft as it passed under the state today will build in mid morning in the SW, a bit later in Perth/Mandurah.
Also on the radar next week we’ll be watching a low pressure system in the Coral Sea which has been lingering for days as a diffuse system. There looks to be more organisation later next week, possibly with a S-SE recurvature if the system intensifies into a tropical cyclone.
A high quickly slips E of Tas later Mon with NE winds developing and a potential NE windswell through Tues and Wed as winds feed into an inland trough.
All eyes out to the Pacific swell window this week with a typical late Summer/early Autumn pattern setting up. Low pressure centres well to the East of Fiji (near American Samoa), west of Fiji and NW of New Caledonia will all chug away on a long tradewind belt setting up presently and enhanced by a dominant high pressure cell moving SE of Tasmania early next week.
Low pressure centres well to the East of Fiji (near American Samoa), west of Fiji and NW of New Caledonia will all chug away on a long tradewind belt setting up presently and enhanced by a dominant high pressure cell moving SE of Tasmania early next week. Better positioned for the sub-tropics but E/NE swell will filter down the East Coast next week.
A shallow front will approach Victoria tomorrow, swinging the wind to the north-east early, then briefly strengthening from the north during the middle of the day ahead of a late W'ly change.
Our eastern swell window remains the focus for the coming week.
A pair of tropical disturbances straddling the Fijian region are part of an evolving atmospheric dynamic that will concurrently occupy the Coral Sea, Northern Tasman and South Pacific basins over the coming days.
A fun swell is on the way with it performing well across southern NSW.
There's plenty of westerly swell due this period with tricky but workable winds.
