A trough moving north from a position east of Tasmania brings a vigorous S’ly change tomorrow extending into Fri before the summer pattern slowly resets over the weekend. Any large or moderate swell generating features have disappeared from the charts, alas.

The end of the week will be poor but the weekend looks fun on the beaches but with easing surf. Early next week looks OK as well.

The high in the Tasman sets up some sort of trade flow in the Coral Sea later this week and into the next. It’s not much of a fetch, mostly weak, disjointed and located at the extremity of the Coral Sea (close to New Caledonia) but it should be enough too see some just rideable surf for late this week.

This NE windswell should perk up a notch into Wed as a fetch off the NSW South Coast increases in strength and extends into Eastern Bass Strait.
