This seabreeze heralds a strong N’ly flow developing off the South Coast and down to Bass Strait Thursday morning, which is expected to produce a chunky NE windswell for Thurs, under fresh NE winds.
Conditions should settle down quite quickly through the first half of the week as the rambunctious low which passed over Lord Howe Island on the weekend quickly scoots across to the North Island and beyond, generating some nice pulses of swell from fetches near the South Island and Cook Strait.
We've got a mix of sized W/SW swells due tomorrow and a low stalling off the coast should bring a window of clean conditions.
Conditions should settle down quite quickly through the first half of the week as the rambunctious low which passed over Lord Howe Island on the weekend quickly scoots across to the North Island, with trailing fetches near the South Island and out of Cook Strait maintaining good surf through mid-week.
Weak, flukey swells and dicey winds over the coming period and no great days stand out.
Small to tiny swells with slowly improving winds for the beaches.
Bit of a downgrade for next weeks surf prospects. Firstly, because the S’ly flow remains more stubbornly entrenched through Mon and Tues- although we should start seeing morning land breezes develop at least by Tues morning. Secondly, the deep polar low outbreak now really winds up a little further E (favouring California!) so we’re more exposed to sideband energy rather than the main course.
Local winds look to spoil a good run of swell this period.
Complex and dynamic weekend ahead, with an upper trough, surface trough and front forming a surface low in the convergence zone off the North Coast. This low is expected to rapidly deepen through Sat.
Get stuck in today before the swell eases into the weekend. Next week is a bit trickier swell and wind wise.
