A strong swell tomorrow will be spoilt by onshore winds, better Wednesday with some decent activity due into next week.
These winds will coalesce later today into a more organised fetch of S-SE gales as the system slowly tracks southwards then S/SE. As a result we’ll see elevated wave heights from the E/SE-S/SE right into mid-week, augmented by some long range S/SE groundswell from another ice shelf fetch in the Ross Sea region adjacent to Antarctica.
The coming period will become better from Wednesday but with plenty of wind.
We have a powerful swell generating pattern in place with a deep low (993hPa) in the Tasman, supported by a large high (1033hPa) well to the south of the Bight.
The coming week isn't great but the South Coast should offer a window Wednesday and then the Mid Coast later week.
We have a powerful swell generating pattern in place with a deep low (993hPa) in the Tasman, supported by a large high (1033hPa) well to the south of the Bight.
Dicey week ahead of the first proper Southern Ocean frontal progression of the autumn season
A deepening low to our east will bring persistent onshore winds, spoiling some good groundswell.
The South West will offer small waves over the weekend with more action from mid-late next week.
Mon Update- no change to outlook, tiny/flat this week as Tasman low dominates the space.
