We’ve got some new swell on the way for tomorrow though conditions are going to become quite blustery with westerly gales thanks to the passage of a cold front.
That front is tied to another deep low, driving a large area of seas between 20-30ft towards WA. Proximity equals size with another extended period of large to XL wave heights expected to build in Fri
Current ASCAT (satellite windspeed) pass shows storm force winds embedded in a larger fetch of SE-ESE gales to severe gales aimed back at the Eastern Seaboard including Tasmania.
Lovely looking map this morning with the weekend’s Coral Sea low low lingering near the North Island, having intensified overnight. Current ASCAT (satellite windspeed) pass shows storm force winds embedded in a larger fetch of SE-ESE gales to severe gales aimed back (mostly) at NSW.

That size holds though Tues-Wed- or even a notch above in the 4-6ft range- offering up fantastic potential under light winds Tues, with winds tending more W’ly Wed as a weak front crosses the state.
East Coast or hybrid low is now drifting towards Fraser Island, anchored by a huge high (1038hPa) just east of Tasmania. Thats directing gales towards SEQLD, and a broad fetch of E/SE winds as far south as the Hunter.
Nothing major this period with westerly swells without any size or consistency. Try the North East Coast.
Poor tomorrow but we should see lighter winds in Mandurah and Perth on Sunday with a new, building XL groundswell. A secondary XL swell is due next week, as winds ease and swing more offshore.
