The models have marginally increased the size and strength of the anchored trade flow south of Fiji and New Caledonia for this week, which will maintain small levels of east swell right through into the weekend.
Tiny all week until Friday when a small NE windswell develops. Acute S'ly swell for Sunday, better Monday as it eases under offshore winds.
A secondary front trading behind this low looks a little better positioned with strong SW winds expected to nose into the lower Tasman Sea on Thursday. This should generate a slightly bigger south swell for Friday.
Tiny tomorrow, with a rapid increase in W/SW swell through Wednesday, fading slower through the end of the week. Similar trend later Saturday, but holding larger out of the SW Sunday.
New SW swell tomorrow with OK winds, easing Wednesday. Building mid-period SW swell Thursday with onshores followed by a large powerful W/SW groundswell Friday with offshore winds, easing into the weekend.
Small to tiny tomorrow with a variable wind during the morning, bigger Wednesday but onshore down South. Good mix of swells Thursday with a morning offshore wind, then some large swell for the weekend, best on the Mid Coast Sunday.
Small to tiny swell tomorrow with variable winds during the morning, slightly better W/SW swell for Wednesday morning with an offshore on the Surf Coast. OK swell for Thursday but not ideal winds, cleaner and easing Friday. Large strong swell for the weekend.
The weekend’s Tasman/Coral Sea ridge will be anchored across the Central Queensland coast by a coastal trough. This is expected to weaken early next week, and at the same time a new tropical depression is expected to form south of the Solomon Islands.
Saturday will see a combination of swells: initially a continuation of the slow peaky E/NE energy showing today, plus a small long period S’ly swell generated by a vigorous mid-week Southern Ocean low passing well south of the continent.
N/NE swell peaking Sunday with improving winds into the afternoon, small and fading Monday.
