No great change to the weekend f/cast. A compact, robust low approaches from the W today and passes SE of the Island tomorrow. We’ll see small amounts of leftover NE windswell to 1-2ft get replaced by a small S swell of similar size.
The outlook is more positive with cleaner windows of surf in the South West along with decent sized pulses of swell.
Current ASCAT (satellite windspeed) passes show a very healthy fetch of SE-E/SE tradewinds extending through the Central/Southern Coral Seas with plenty of fun E’ly tradewind swell expected over the weekend.
We've got a less reliable period ahead with trickier swells and winds, but best down South generally.
Sat still looks the best day of the weekend as a trough and front terminating in a compact low approach from the W.
After weeks and months of excellent surf, the coming period is a bit more flakey.
We've got a large southerly swell on the way for Friday/Saturday, with fun, decent swells into next week.
Rapidly building swells across the region as a major SE surge builds up the QLD Coast.
The bifurcation between the sub-tropics and temperate regions increases through the end of the week with NE windswell extending down to NE Tas and E’ly tradewind swells building in the sub-tropics.
In the wake of a strong front earlier this week we have still have moderate S swell trains propagating through the Tasman Sea which will be one swell source through the short term. The bifurcation between the sub-tropics and temperate regions increases through the end of the week with NE windswell in the temperate areas and E’ly tradewind swells building in the sub-tropics.
