Tiny pulses of westerly swell on the way
Tiny pulses of westerly swell on the way
There's a steady supply of tiny W/SW swell on the way but winds are tricky. A fun new swell is due early next week.

Current ASCAT (satellite wind speed) passes show areas of the fetch already at storm force strength as it develops in the areas mentioned above, leading to high confidence in the upcoming f/cast.
We're looking at better winds for the Margaret River region over the coming period, though still tricky. Further north winds will have a southerly bias as well.
The Mid Coast will offer the cleanest conditions though generally small surf this period, with only a couple of windows down South.
The coming period is fairly average wind wise, but there is one day to focus on.
Easing surf with workable winds over the coming days ahead of a tiny run of swell.
A much stronger intensification of the fetch occurs Wed, as strong to low end gale NE winds develop off Bass Strait, extending up off the Gippsland Coast.
Weak fronts but workable swells over this coming period, worth making the most of before things go quiet next week.
A large (1025 hPa) high pressure system is currently drifting over Central NSW into the Tasman sea and this high pressure cell is expected to track SE, strengthen and become slow moving as it meanders near the South Island for most of this week. That creates a summer-style synoptic pattern, with SE/ESE Tradewinds through the sub-tropics and a N’ly flow through temperate NSW.
Fun windows of waves for both coasts this period, with the Mid Coast being the target later week.
