It’s way too early for any confidence on size and timing, but the short story is that the end of next week and next weekend is looking very dynamic, and likely very large at some coasts.
Slow forecast period with a small clean S/SW swell tomorrow, fading Sunday and then a new S/SE groundswell later Monday, best Tuesday morning with an offshore wind.
Poor conditions all weekend and early next week with a large long-period W/SW groundswell filling in, mixed with mid-period and windswell. Better cleaner SW groundswells next Wednesday/Thursday and on Saturday.
Since last Monday I’ve been discussing the possibility of an ‘unstable troughy pattern across the eastern Tasman Sea next week’, which could lead to a ‘sizeable’, ‘short range E’ly through NE swell’.
Average weekend with a small to tiny W/SW swell favouring the Mid Coast tomorrow, tiny down South and with dicey winds. New long-range and very inconsistent, small W/SW groundswell building Sunday, peaking Monday with favourable winds down South. Small W/SW swell for the Mid Coast Wednesday with better energy for the South Coast from late week.
Nothing of note through this forecast period as a blocking pattern is setup across our main swell windows. Better activity due from late next week but winds look suss.
Smallish mid-period swell to end the week ahead of a very strong long-period SW groundswell for Sunday/Monday, easing slowly all next week. Good S/SW groundswells for next Saturday and the following Monday the 30th.

A new long period S’ly swell will push up during Thursday morning, generated by a polar low south of Tasmania earlier this week.
Our current S’ly swell will continue to ease into Thursday, but a new long period S’ly swell will push up through the morning, generated by a polar low south of Tasmania earlier this week.
