Lack of swell generating tradewinds in the Coral Sea sees tiny/flat surf extend through this weekend.
In the short run and the outlook is dynamic. The low sitting off the East coats maintains an E/NE-E infeed so E swell will hold in the 3ft range.
We're looking at a poor end to the week with better options developing into the weekend.
Still a complex, troughy pattern in play with a slow moving trough of low pressure drifting south off the Gippsland coast towards waters East of Tasmania. A front sweeping in behind the trough is bringing a clearing W’ly flow through temperate NSW today, reaching the sub-tropics tomorrow.
Conditions are clean with an inconsistent new W/SW groundswell, while some stronger swell with favourable winds is due later week.
There'll be plenty of swell for the South Coast from later Friday but winds look dicey initially before slowly improving.
A front sweeping in behind the trough is bringing a clearing W’ly flow through temperate NSW today, reaching the sub-tropics tomorrow. A belt of high pressure below the continent is now weakening and setting us up for a more benign pattern compared to Mondays notes. Small S swell pulses are on the menu from this frontal activity.
The end of the week looks generally poor, but the weekend will see more size though with onshore winds.
Tradewinds are now contracting Eastwards and the Coral Sea is going to quieten right down this week with only weak pressure gradients and light winds.
