Days of fun E/NE swell ahead this week with offshore winds, plenty of S swell next week

An inland trough eventually clears the coast later Tues or Wed and the broad E’ly infeed into the trough transforms a typical but out of season tradewind fetch into a more broadscale “trough block” feature which will send swell to most of the Eastern Seaboard.

Slowly easing SE winds with a nice run of E swell and light winds expected next week

The “trough block” pattern mentioned on Wed looks to set-up as the clearing trough Mon sets up a long N-S oriented line in the Tasman to Coral Seas and focusses a long E’ly fetch through this vast area. Windspeeds are the limiting factor but we should see a steady increase in E'ly swell from Thurs into next weekend.

SE winds (finally!) easing over the weekend with a nice run of offshore winds and E/NE swell developing next week
