The infeed into the low is focussed on Far Southern NSW and Tasmania before the low moves into the Tasman and drifts SE. We’ll see plenty of E quadrant swell off the infeed. Frontal systems following this troughy pattern should supply S swell of moderate size late in the week and over NYE and New Years Day.
Good sized surf is due over the coming period with workable winds.
For our sub-tropical region the main swell source will be a proximate N’ly fetch extending up to water adjacent to the CQ coast and holding a workable NE windswell.
We’ll see some small E quadrant swell off the infeed, with a North-South gradient for size but even open the Far South Coast the size will be modest and onshore winds will keep quality low. Frontal systems following this troughy pattern should supply some better quality S swell of modest size late in the week and over NYE and New Years Day.
Make the most of this morning's waves and then try again later week.
There'll be hardly any letup in the onshore winds which will create poor surfing conditions.
There's no let up in the wind this week with poor surf set to continue. A bit more swell is due on the weekend but with generally average winds.
An approaching inland trough will freshen northerlies about most coasts on Sunday, so make the most of Saturday.
A good E/SE swell will ease on the weekend with favourable winds. Early next week looks average, improving again later week.
No major change to the weekend outlook, though Sunday’s winds are looking a little fruity.
