Plenty of swell to come this period but cleanest over the coming days. A larger swell is due on the weekend but with onshore breezes, cleaner and fun on the beaches early-mid next week.
A progression of strong Southern Ocean fronts will bring lots of swell but winds will be tricky at times.
A wintry pattern is on offer this week, with a stack of intense frontal activity impacting Tasmania and a deep, complex semi-stalled Polar low providing refracted S swell pulses through the week.
Following this rapid spike in wind and swell the week settles down quickly as strong high pressure moves in from the Bight across the south-east interior and becomes flabby, leading to settled conditions and small surf to end the working week
A slower week of surf with varying winds which will be favourable tomorrow and again late week.
A strong SW change is making it’s way up the coast as we speak but the coast-hugging low and subsequent over-sized S swell disappeared from model runs over the weekend. Models have swung back to the original EC resolution which sees a rapid-fire, coast-hugging fetch of strong to gale force SW to S winds through tomorrow..
Winds are tricky this period but there'll be tons of swell and a few windows of good to great (South Coast) waves across both regions.
Tons of swell and generally workable winds for the coming period, best suited to more protected locations.
A better angled fetch associated with a frontal fetch moving NE into the Tasman later Mon into Tuesday sees surf build into the 3ft range at S exposed spots with early SW winds from the front turning WNW as it passes by.
We’re now on the tail end of the swell from the Tasman low, with a last little fun sting in the end of the tail expected this weekend and some tricky (largely unfavourable) wind shifts expected.
