A complex trough spanning much of the East Coast will develop over the next few days, of which the latest model guidance is pointing towards a significant easterly trough low (that may become an ECL) slowly evolving from Saturday through the first half of next week.
Looks like a quiet end to the week, with some major model revisions over the last few days - certainly not wiping out the expected major swell event, just shunting it down the timeline a little.
Tricky, refracted southerly swell this period with some additional easterly energy for next week.
Onshore surf tomorrow as we see the size slowly build. Much better from Friday.
A strong, long-period groundswell is on the way and conditions look to be favourable for selected breaks.
We've got tricky winds over the coming period owing to variable, troughy weather. Winds will be mostly from the eastern quadrant from tomorrow.
Troughy weather and associated dicey winds will most likely spoil a run of moderate sized south-southwest swell energy.
Further ahead and we’ll be tracking a potential south-wards moving coast-hugging low which is expected to form off the NSW or QLD coast later this weekend.
Tomorrow looks smallest ahead of some new swell Wednesday, bigger later week.
Over the weekend another monster high moves well south of the Bight and a series of troughs in the Coral Sea are likely to form either one or multiple surface lows in the basin.
