So for all intents and purposes we can expect an ordinary run of waves in the short term, with mainly small residual swells (NE windswell and minor S’ly groundswell) along with freshening northerly winds on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The main feature on this week's synoptic charts is a cut-off low that’s expected to intensify off Southern NSW around Thursday, delivering a rapid increase in short range southerly swell and associated SW tending S’ly winds.
We've got multiple pulse of southerly swell on the cards from Wednesday through the weekend and beyond.
Our mid-period SW tending S swells has been given an upgrade though with plenty of wind.
The coming days will offer cleaner conditions with easing surf, ahead of a fun new W/SW swell Thursday. From the weekend things will go onshore and build again.
The window for a clean wave will be trickier to find this week, with a fun weekend ahead.
Winds won't be overly pleasant this week but we should see windows for those on the pulse.
Tomorrow morning is the pick of the weekend, with plenty of swell for next week.
Further ahead and GFS is suggesting a robust high in the Tasman with a trade flow supplying some small surf for the CQ region developing next weekend with another, stronger high moving at Tasmanian latitudes suggesting another SE surge and potential swell from the eastern quadrant.
The weekend will be a write-off, with large, improving surf through early next week.
