Cold fronts are passing across the Island and the high pressure will now exert a blocking effect, steering fronts well away from the swell window or ensuring a zonal (W-E) flow through the end of the week and into the weekend.
The high pressure cell develops a healhy trade-wind flow through the Coral Sea into this weekend, generating fun waves from the E. It’s quite a persistent pattern, breaking down mid next week. Small, flukey S swells get even smaller and flukier in the interim, while peaky tradewind swell chugs away.
A mix of S and W/SW swells are due over the coming days with a better pulse of W/SW swell for Sunday.
There might be a couple of better windows opening up around the South West over the coming days. Perth and Mandurah should be fun.
A strong new W/SW groundswell is due late today, with the most size seen tomorrow morning but with strong winds. Follow up swells with better winds look more appealing.
Cold fronts have passed through the Tasman and the high pressure will now exert a blocking effect, steering fronts well away from the swell window or ensuring a zonal (W-E) flow through the end of the week and into the weekend.
The good times keep on keeping on. Tomorrow's swell looks the least consistent of the bunch.
The surf will ease ahead of a new, large S/SW groundswell later this week, with a follow up next week.
A mix of W/SW and S swells for the coming days, with building W/SW energy from the weekend.
Tiny/flat surf look to build from Thurs as a new high pressure ridge builds up the QLD Coast. The high moves into the Tasman at roughly sub-tropical latitudes, with a reasonable ridge up the QLD Coast and some small, peaky swell developing likely into the 1-2ft range through Thurs.
