With high pressure parking itself beside Tasmania for most of this week we’re expecting a period of tiny surf to become established through Thurs into the weekend and early next week, with swell sources effectively blocked by the large high .
By Fri an extensive coverage of 20-25knot SE winds through the lower Coral Sea should rebuild wave heights into the 1-2ft range across the region, with surf holding into the weekend before slowly easing next week as the trade flow weakens.
Ex TC Cody slipped behind the North Island late this weekend and is now slowly drying up as a swell source. Due to the slow moving nature of the system as it approached the North Island there’s still some more solid surf to come, with a final pulse of E/SE swell expected Wed.
Our good, new W/SW-SW groundswell due today has hit the offshore wave buoys and is on the build.
A trough brings a S’ly change tomorrow , with another strong high tracking south of the Bight poised to be the main weather feature this week.
A good quality swell for tomorrow with average though workable winds, cleaning up on the beaches later week but with no swell.
Another huge swathe of severe gales pushing of Japan Tues/Wed tracks towards Hawaii with a captured fetch , generating another large/XL swell Fri with size pushing up into the 15ft range, with light SE winds expected as the edge of the windfield sweeps past the island and a weak high pressure ridge builds in behind it.
A poor outlook with average winds when the swell finally comes up. Maybe head to the cricket instead.
The slowed movement and enlargement of the wind field as it approaches the North Island are on track to deliver more powerful long period E-E/NE swell, not ideally aimed for Tasmania but with enough strength to deliver some 3-4ft sets through Mon and Tues.
The slowed movement and enlargement of the wind field as it approaches the North Island are on track to deliver more powerful long period E-E/SE swell, right on the edge of the Southern CQ swell window.
