While we won’t get the full payload of S’ly swell from this system as the system gets shunted SW as it enters the swell window (NE would be ideal!) we’re still on track for a few usable S swell pulses this week, with a trailing frontal system providing bigger S swell into and over the weekend.
There's plenty of swell due this coming period but not to any major size and with tricky winds.
This is looking like a hallmark winter pattern, with four days of westerly gales
An amplifying Long Wave Trough over the southern states will drive a series of powerful fronts through the Bight throughout next week.
Get in early Sat as SE winds blow as an embedded low drifts down from the Central West. Once that system moves E we’ll see fresh S’ly winds set in.
Into next week and a quick spike in NE windswell is expected Mon AM into Tues AM as another mid-latitude low approaches from the Bight and tightens the pressure gradient with the high in the Tasman.
Our Autumnal run of surf and condition is now going to be replaced by a more late winter-style pattern, dominated by W’ly winds. A complex low pressure gyre is located over Tasmania with a trough having moved offshore from the NSW coast and a cold front pushing through Bass Strait today.

This is an unusual swell source for the South Arm (and indeed, the entirety of Storm Bay) on a number of fronts.
Yep, we've got a whole stack of surf due next week, as a Long Wave Trough amplifies across the entire southern expanse of the continent.
