A tight low firing up under Western Australia today will produce a better pulse of westerly swell over the coming days and while winds are far from perfect there should be a few workable options.
Nothing major in size but persistent small swells out of the west with workable winds.
Options will be limited with the coming swell this week as a high pressure ridge moving in from the west slows the local improvement in winds.
Short term and the western flank of the high creates a NE fetch off the South Coast and extending across Bass Strait through tomorrow to Thursday.
A broad but weak tradewind fetch pushes south from the Coral Sea, extending out towards New Caledonia, and looping around a long trough extending from roughly Lord Howe up into the tropics.
We’re right up to our neck in a troughy La Nina pattern, which continues on through this week. High pressure is sitting just to the East of Tasmania, with the dissipating remains of the weekend’s trough of low pressure linked to a coastal trough extending up into the sub-tropics
Fun small options across both coasts during the coming forecast period with an average outlook for next week.
A fun run of swell and favourable winds for the beaches until late week.
The long, elongated trough line extending off the NSW Coast and angling in a NW/SE orientation towards New Zealand is now located a bit further north than modelled on Wed. Like the last trough system it’s now located more on the Mid North Coast. That amount to a slight downgrade for Eastern Tasmania as the fetch is now located a bit farther north and aimed more at NSW.
There's an improvement in the weekend's wind outlook with small fun swells for the right board.
