A broad but weak tradewind fetch pushes south from the Coral Sea, extending out towards New Caledonia, and looping around a long trough extending from roughly Lord Howe up into the tropics.
We’re right up to our neck in a troughy La Nina pattern, which continues on through this week. High pressure is sitting just to the East of Tasmania, with the dissipating remains of the weekend’s trough of low pressure linked to a coastal trough extending up into the sub-tropics
Fun small options across both coasts during the coming forecast period with an average outlook for next week.
A fun run of swell and favourable winds for the beaches until late week.
The long, elongated trough line extending off the NSW Coast and angling in a NW/SE orientation towards New Zealand is now located a bit further north than modelled on Wed. Like the last trough system it’s now located more on the Mid North Coast. That amount to a slight downgrade for Eastern Tasmania as the fetch is now located a bit farther north and aimed more at NSW.
There's an improvement in the weekend's wind outlook with small fun swells for the right board.
The weak troughy pattern in the Tasman Sea is connected up with several, broad, diffuse and disconnected E’ly windfields in the region near New Caledonia and extending out into the South Pacific. Taken individually these fetches aren’t worth much, but as a collective we’ll be looking at another episode of pulsey background E swell with up and down periods and size in the 2-3ft range.
The next few days aren't great but we've got better surfing options into the middle to end of next week.
The long, elongated trough line extending off the NSW Coast and angling in a NW/SE orientation towards New Zealand is now located a bit further north than modelled on Wed.
Another weekend of poor conditions with better surfing options and swells for early-mid next week down South. The Mid should see some small swell later week.
