Friday and Saturday look fun ahead of some likely better, closer-range swell energy next week.
Increasing winds and average surf ahead of an XL swell on the weekend.
We’re seeing a ramp up in strong S’ly winds along the eastern seaboard as a dominant high (1035hPa) moves through the eastern Bight towards Tasmania with a trough on it’s leading edge moving northwards. Remnants of a low on the weekend are also sitting near New Zealand with swell generating fetches off the South Island and emerging from Cook Strait into the eastern Tasman.
The coming days look generally smaller with slowly improving conditions down South. Large groundswells are then due into next week with winds a little unsure from Tuesday.
The coming outlook will be best suited to exposed breaks over the coming days before the attention swings to the Surf Coast next week.
Biggest swell of the year so far due next week.
By the weekend we’ll see a strong SE surge pushing north of K’gari (Fraser Is) with surf developing either later Sat or Sun.
We’ll see another front and trough develop tomorrow on the leading edge of the dominant high, which sees S swell short term then a strong S/SE-SE fetch develop through the lower Tasman from mid week. Plenty of swell from this source seeing fresh S’lies, easing later in the week.
The coming week will improve from Thursday with Sunday through early next week due to be tiny.
The first proper Southern Ocean frontal progression of the season will fire up south-west of us later week.
