GFS suggests the inland trough moves Northwards, with a trough spawning a small low east of Tasmania and rapidly deepens o/night into Fri with strong winds to gales developing off the south coast and Bass Strait.
You'll have to be on the pulse to score the clean windows of surf and swell this period.
Large swell for next week with a possible follow up.
The end of the week and Saturday looks tiny while a fun swell is worth capitalising on Sunday.
Not much on the horizon with weak pressure gradients and no tradewinds in the Coral Sea next week, a flat spell is expected.
High pressure moves near the South Island and a broad inland low will see winds freshen from N-NE over the weekend, with NE windswell building.
A small trough of low pressure has stalled off Seal Rocks with a SE infeed south of the trough expected to ease over the next 24 hrs and a light/variable flow north of the trough. Apart from this short-range feature, which is whipping up some local, short range swell for Central/Southern NSW extending up to the MNC, pressure gradients in the Tasman and Coral Seas remain very weak.
The swells for the weekend look OK with varying winds but next week looks better with another round large groundswell inbound.
A small trough of low pressure has stalled off Seal Rocks with a SE infeed south of the trough expected to ease over the next 24 hrs and a light/variable flow north of the trough.
Make the most of this morning's surf down South. The coming period looks very marginal with better swells due mid-late next week.
