No great change to the f/cast. A large (1030hPa) high near New Zealand is continuing to direct tradewinds through the Coral Sea, with the New Caledonia region being the strongest wind area.

A weak ridge up the sub-tropics has a lighter E’ly flow with stronger N-NE winds south of the MNC down to the South Coast and Tasmania. We’ll see this pattern persist with increasing NE windswell across NE Tas this week. A strong frontal progression is expected to provide a series of S swells next week. 

A weak ridge up the sub-tropics has a lighter E’ly flow with stronger N-NE winds developing south of the border. We’ll see this pattern with increasing NE windswell on the MNC and some workable trade swell in the sub-tropics.

The pattern established on Mon is now well entrenched with a slow moving high in the Tasman slowly being squeezed on the western flank by approaching trough systems. A weak ridge up the sub-tropics has a lighter E’ly flow with stronger N-NE winds south of the MNC down to the South Coast. We’ll see this pattern with increasing NE windswell in Central NSW and some workable trade swell in the sub-tropics. A strong frontal progression is expected to provide a series of S swells next week.
