High pressure in the Tasman is holding a weak ridge in the Coral Sea, with E’ly winds focussed SW of New Caledonia generating some small fun waves.

High pressure is in the Tasman in typical spring position- with a N’ly-NW’ly flow being enhanced as a mid-latitude low approaches from well south of the Bight. An inland trough and a front associated with the low move across the SE of the country and into the Tasman later Tues, with following fronts and a trough into the Tasman Wed.

Swell generating winds are poorly aligned and with the weakening system racing through the swell window we’re only expecting a small payload of S swell from this progression.
