Trickier period to nail down a surf
Trickier period to nail down a surf
The coming period isn't as good as the last two weeks, with windows of quality surf harder to pick.

Large high in the Tasman directing plenty of E’ly-SE’ly tradewinds through the Coral Sea and South Pacific slot. Typical summer wind pattern with NE winds developing across temperate NSW, tending more E-E/SE in the sub-tropics.
The coming period isn't as active or as favourable as recent times. There'll be a couple of workable windows though.
Another large swell is due for the weekend with varying options as winds swing around the compass.
The coming days will be poor for surfing with some better swell due mid-week.
The E’ly-SE’ly fetch gets reinforced later Sat by a new high pressure ridge squeezing up against a tropical low hovering NW of New Caledonia so we should see surf start to build again through Sun.
A trough off the NSW coast is focussing SE winds along the Eastern Seaboard, with a strong front/low traversing the Lower Tasman underneath Tasmania.
The coming weekend is active for surf but winds won't be as favourable as last week, best Sunday morning.
The E’ly-SE’ly fetch gets reinforced later Sat by a new high pressure ridge squeezing up against a tropical low hovering NW of New Caledonia so we should see surf start to build again through Sun, again, tidally affected by the big new moon tidal amplitudes.
We’ve got a very strong high pressure belt at the moment with a cell in the Tasman (twin cells actually, straddling New Zealand) and monster high moving in from the Bight. A trough off the NSW coast is focusing SE winds along the Eastern Seaboard, with a strong front/low traversing the Lower Tasman.
