Fun mix of swells this week with slowly improving winds

After a much more settled, stable May the first week of June is looking like a temporary back-slide into a more La Niña-esque pattern. A huge (1035hPa) high is sitting E of Tasmania with a low pressure system straddling New Zealand. The high is directing moist onshore winds right up the Eastern Seaboard, while the low has several swell producing fetches associated with it, albeit nothing too major.

Nice pulse of S swell for the weekend with a mixed bag of tradewind and S swells next week

A front pushing aggressively NE into the lower Tasman on the weekend forms a low pressure centre which becomes slow moving near New Zealand early next week and this will be a co-main swell source for the week. The other source will be short range, peaky E’ly swell from a tradewind style fetch in the Southern Coral Sea.
