Weak high pressure is in the Tasman with a modest tradewind fetch in the Coral Sea with another weak high moving into the Tasman in it’s wake. Trades perk up today into tomorrow suggesting a small bump in size over the weekend into Mon before easing early next week.
SW gales push through Bass Strait and adjacent to the Tasmanian East Coast Sun night and into Mon.
SW gales push through Bass Strait and off the Far South Coast Sun night and into Mon with the bulk of the frontal winds now likely to reach Coffs around 7am, Byron by lunch and the border around school pickup
SW gales push through Bass Strait and off the Far South Coast Sun night and into Mon with the bulk of the frontal winds likely to extend up to Sydney in the hours before dawn.
We’ve got a weekend of two halves on the way.
Into next week and a long fetch of gale force winds in the screaming 50’s later this week supplies plenty of energy into next week, although nothing major. The position of the long wave trough favours Victoria as those winds form low pressure and aim up more directly at SE Aus.
We have a complex weekend of waves ahead but there should be some good options around.
We should see fun waves up to the weekend, easing into early next week before rebuilding on the back of a SE surge Wed next week.
To the south we are seeing strong, but zonal frontal activity which will impact the Island state with local winds and S swells later next week.
A weak trade flow in the Coral Sea now only looks capable of generating minor background E’ly swells. N’ly winds will increase over the weekend as a more significant trough and frontal system pushes into the Tasman next week, generating swells from the southern quadrant.
