Dynamic period but with good windows

We've got a dynamic week of waves and weather but both coasts should provide options.
We've got a dynamic week of waves and weather but both coasts should provide options.
Very active pattern to start the week with a large high (1029hPa) moving E of Tasmania with a SE surge enhanced by a trough along the leading edge of the high, and active Monsoon Trough extending in to the Coral Sea and an approaching complex low well to the SW of Tasmania. All these features are potential sources of surf in the short to medium term.
The resulting SE surge up through the Tasman into the Coral Sea generates plenty of swell as the fetch spreads out across the Tasman. We should see surf build Tues into Wed with plenty of fun surf.
Strong onshore winds and some weak swell for Sunday, much better Monday as it eases.
A major swell is possible from Wed as a deep low may form in a a trough line either E of Tasmania or off the Gippsland coast, possibly moving up off the NSW South Coast - enhanced by extra warm water pooled up in that region.
The outlook for next week is poor so make the most of a small pulse of swell for the weekend.
A monsoon trough sits over Northern Australia terminating in the Coral Sea, with a strong high moving into the Tasman to start next week. The resulting SE surge up through the Tasman into the Coral Sea generates plenty of swell as the fetch spreads out across the Tasman.
The southwards protusion of winds from a high and retrograding trough will generate fun sized E’ly swells.
The surf will go poor into the weekend, with a small window down South early next week before onshore winds and stormy surf out of the south kicks back in.
Make the most of this morning's swell and improving conditions before onshore winds kick in on the weekend. Early next week looks fun.
