Just rideable surf easing quickly into the weekend

The synoptic set-up looks quite unseasonal at the moment with a 1031 hPa high drifting over NSW and a 1007 hPa low slow moving in the Tasman west of the North Island. The SE surge from this high has generated some small, scrappy surf. Get in quickly for this swell, we’ll see some more small surf tomorrow then easing swells for Fri and back to flat for the weekend.

Plenty of fun waves leading into the weekend as low lingers in Tasman

The synoptic set-up looks quite unseasonal at the moment with a 1031 hPa high drifting over NSW and a 1007 hPa low slow moving in the Tasman west of the North Island. Current ASCAT (satellite windspeed) passes show broad fetch of mostly strong S-S/SE winds with some embedded low end gales reasonably well aimed for East coast swell production. 

Active Tasman Sea sees swell from around the compass

A good swell with favourable winds tomorrow are worth making the most of before mid-latitude lows and low quality swells make up the rest of the period.

A strong front and embedded trough of low pressure are currently located just off the Gippsland Coast, expected to move NE into the Tasman and driving a strong/ near gale force S’ly flow up the NSW Coast today, reaching the QLD in the wee hours of Tuesday. We may see a small increase in SE swell as the S-SE surge reaches CQ coastline on later Tues. Nothing major, but we may see surf bump up a touch into the 1-1.5ft range Tues a’noon, holding at that size or 1-2ft Wed.
