As discussed over the last week, we’ve got an active MJO phase across the region, and a strong high pressure ridge across New Zealand is cradling a conveyor belt of tropical lows, including one remnant and two existing tropical cyclones (TC Bina, TC Lucas, TC Ana - see recent chart from JTWC below).
There are more curveballs in this week’s synoptics than a major league baseball team.
Plenty of swell on the way from the north-eastern quadrant but with plenty of weather as well.
Funky winds will affect the incoming swells, so be willing to move to score the best conditions.
Plenty of wind and also plenty of swell to work around over the coming period. We also have a look at the tropical developments to our north.
An average couple of days, besides some tiny surf on the Mid, ahead of cleaner conditions and better swells late week.
Nothing too special over the coming days, but winds will improve along with some quality swell to follow.
The NE swell energy building today will peak tomorrow morning ahead of a late afternoon change. The rest of the period is a bit so/so and still up in the air.
Nothing special this period with dicey winds, mucking with smallish westerly swells.
Plenty of swell and good winds to work around this period in the wake of today's large, powerful SW groundswell.
