The coming period remains poor, but with some swell potential mid-late next week.

A low is expected to move E of Tasmania o/night and form a broad low pressure trough in the Tasman driving W’ly then S’ly winds along the NSW coast before moving NE as a surface low over the weekend. That will be the second surface low in succession to form in the Tasman and we may yet see a third develop later next week. 

Now is the window for a paddle ahead of a poor weekend.

Our next swell comes as the fetch retreats eastwards and becomes intensified by a deepening trough of low pressure between Vanuatu and Fiji, which forms a broad surface which tracks southwards from later this week.
