The current southerly change is interacting with a trough well south of New Caledonia, and is expected to broaden and deepen a low pressure system west of Auckland tonight, with a wide fetch of southerly gales on its western flank.
There’s been an upgrade in strength and a forward time-shift with regards to the developing low pressure system in the north-eastern Tasman Sea.
No real notable swells this coming period. Maybe surf next weekend?
Clean easing W/SW swell tomorrow, tiny Sunday ahead of a late increase in new W/SW swell, peaking Monday. Easing surf Tuesday and then nothing new until possibly late week.
Very large SW groundswell filling in tomorrow with favourable winds all day, easing Sunday as winds go more north-east to north. Average winds and swell early next week, fun north of Margs Wednesday with a W/SW swell.
Easing W/SW swell tomorrow, with a reinforcing pulse for the afternoon and Sunday morning. Larger groundswell for Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, cleanest down South Monday/Tuesday.
Easing W/SW swell tomorrow with east winds, onshore Sunday with a new W/SW groundswell and stronger pulse late in the day, peaking Monday morning. Clean on the Surf Coast reefs, and good across more exposed spots Tuesday and Wednesday as the swell eases.
Bali and Mentawais forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Thursday 26th April)
Best Days: Bali - late Friday onwards (experienced surfers Monday and Tuesday AM, Ments - Friday afternoon through next Friday
This week and next (Apr 27 – May 4 )
Bali: We've got smaller surf across the region today, and it will continue to ease into tomorrow morning. Light morning winds will favour exposed magnets which should still be coming in at 3-5ft tomorrow morning (smaller on the Bukit).
Building S/SW swell later Friday, peaking Saturday morning, with a new S/SW groundswell kicking late Sunday ahead of a large and powerful long-period S/SW groundswell Monday afternoon, easing steadily Tuesday.
A strong ridge will develop through the Tasman Sea in the way of Friday’s gusty S’lies, and this will generate strong S/SE swells for the region this weekend.
