A large 1029 hPa high pressure system is sitting smack bang in the middle of the Southern Tasman Sea in a deepening phase, with a series of tropical troughs in the Northern Coral Sea beginning to expand Tradewinds through the tropics.
A large 1029 hPa high pressure system is sitting smack bang in the middle of the Southern Tasman Sea in a strengthening phase, with a series of tropical troughs in the Northern Coral Sea beginning to expand Tradewinds through the tropics.
Plenty of E swell ahead next week as Tradewinds and a sub-tropical low drifts south through the South Pacific slot.
The dominant high which has been slow moving is inching into the Tasman Sea, with winds set to take a N’ly turn as it drifts eastwards and we get the flow off the western flank of the high. This slow moving high will essentially block the Southern swell window but we have one more pulse of long period S swell due this ‘noon.
A mix of flukey and not overly reliable swell sources, best from the north-east.
Make the most of the swell tomorrow before things go quiet.
Onshore winds and average swells over the coming days ahead of stronger energy late week as winds improve.
Small, easing surf for the South Coast over the coming days with a large W/SW groundswell for the weekend with favourable winds.
Great conditions for the beaches as the size eases over the coming days. Strong swell for the weekend out of the west.
No great change to the weekend f/cast. A monster high (1037 hPa) is approaching from the West with strong frontal activity well below the state expected to generate some small S swell pulses.
