The coming week will be cleanest in the gulf but small to tiny. A window of cleaner surf down South is due on the weekend.
Strong S swell expected this weekend as a front with gales to strong gales tied to a complex parent low drifts slowly through the far Southern Tasman.
There's a bit of swell due this period and winds will be workable for those on the pulse.
The surf looks small to tiny for the most part with generally favourable winds.
No change to the short term f/cast. TC Kirrily has now crossed the NQ coast leaving a light N’ly flow in the Coral Sea and no real swell generating winds. That will see tiny/flat surf over the weekend and extending into next week.
Into next week and not much happening to start the new week. High pressure moves quickly into the Tasman, with winds shifting NW-NE then SW-SE as a trough pushes through a shallow change.
As the current swell eases, the coming period looks less favourable with windows of OK waves in the South West.
Further ahead and the tropics remains active with a long monsoon trough extending from the Coral Sea out into the South Pacific Convergence Zone. Strongest winds are the monsoonal surge nor-westers along the top of the trough but there are signs more favourable E’ly winds will develop along the bottom of the trough later next week, favouring sub-tropical regions for small E swell either later next weekend to into the week 5/2
There's no change to the incoming W/SW swell but the South Coast looks to offer a window of cleaner conditions early tomorrow.
A weaker front Wed may bring some small S swell later Thurs into Fri but a much stronger system tracks NE into the Tasman Thurs/Fri with a wide band of gales suggesting a more substantial S swell event sometimes next weekend.
