A winter calibre front and low has now transited the Tasman, after generating a solid S swell for the Eastern Seaboard. Large high pressure (1032 hPa)is moving across inland NSW bringing settled conditions and light winds to the region, for the next few days.
Late this week, likely Fri, we’ll see a cold front and upper trough combine to form another deep, coastal low possibly with gales to strong gales. Compared to the last system that generated XL surf in Sydney, this low is positioned slightly further north and moves away quicker, suggesting sizey surf but smaller than the last event.
Large, easing surf from later today with reinforcing pulses through the week under favourable winds until Friday. Another large swell looms Sunday/Monday.
Besides Sunday, the period is clean with tons of swell.
We’re expecting some fun waves for the weekend, with our Tasman low stalling and deepening over the last 24-36hrs, slightly further away from NZ than modelled. That’s allowed E’ly quarter low end gales to develop in our swell window.
We’re expecting plenty of fun waves for the weekend, Sat especially with our Tasman low stalling and deepening over the last 24-36hrs, slightly further away from NZ than modelled. That’s allowed E’ly quarter low end gales to develop in our swell window, even if aimed more directly further South.
Generally favourable winds though from the north-eastern quadrant with an inconsistent, easing groundswell.
Onshore winds will create bumpy conditions for most of the weekend, but with plenty of swell, much cleaner and sizey into early/mid next week.
We’re expecting a nice little upgrade for the weekend, Sat especially, with our Tasman low stalling and deepening over the last 24-36hrs, slightly further away from NZ than modelled. That’s allowed E’ly quarter low end gales to develop in our swell window, even if aimed more directly further South.
Let's not beat around the bush, next week looks to pump with multiple days of great to excellent surf lining up.
