A complex inland trough/low is emerging from the Gippsland coast into the Tasman Sea with a fetch of SE-E/SE winds aimed at Tasmania and offering some plenty of E-E/NE swell, easing tomorrow.
Plenty of quality surf days between onshore blows this period and strong swells.
Elsewhere, it’s a bland pattern with a dormant Coral Sea. Cold fronts later this week and over the weekend will supply some minor S swell favouring NENSW S facing beaches.
There's some fun swell for the end of the week in the South West with windy, but favourable winds.
No great change to the summer pattern with a massive heat dome over Central, Western and Northern Australia spawning trough lines which are creating unstable, stormy weather across large swathes of the East Coast. A complex inland trough/low is emerging from the Gippsland coast into the Tasman Sea with a fetch of SE-E/SE winds aimed at Tasmania and offering some small sideband energy up into Southern/Central NSW.
There's plenty of swell due over the coming days and winds look to be lighter at periods. It won't be perfect though surfable.
The onshore winds will continue to create poor conditions this period, with a window for early Saturday morning. Sunday will become sizey.
Fun swell building today, with a secondary pulse for Sunday/Monday.
No change to the outlook, very weak pressure gradients in the Coral Sea and an absence of swell generating winds extends through the last week of 2023 and right through the first week of 2024.
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.
