This pattern breaks down as we head into the weekend leaving a broad troughy area of low pressure in the Tasman which is expected to redevelop over the weekend and generate sizey S swells later in the weekend and early next week.
Fun swells with generally favourable winds for the exposed beaches persist.
Large, back to back pulses of swell inbound.
We have a strong (1033hPa) high in the Tasman, with a deep E’ly flow through the Coral Sea feeding into a coastal trough along the QLD coast. That trough is drawing down plenty of tropical moisture in the deep onshore flow, and generating sizey, stormy E’ly swells for the sub-tropics.
Winds off the Tasmanian coast and up into Bass Strait are tending more N’ly over the short term producing some small NE windswell.
There's nothing to recommend this week with a funky S/SE swell this weekend.
We have a strong (1033hPa) high in the Tasman, with a deep E’ly flow through the Coral Sea feeding into a coastal trough along the QLD coast. That trough is drawing down plenty of tropical moisture in the deep onshore flow, and generating sizey, stormy E’ly swells for the sub-tropics.
The coming period will be again mostly about picking the windows of lighter winds and cleaner conditions.
We've got one final quality west swell to come this week before things become a little quieter.
That trough is drawing down plenty of tropical moisture in the deep onshore flow, and generating sizey, stormy E’ly swells for the sub-tropics. Some of that swell energy will filter down to temperate NSW in reduced form but without all the bad weather, along with more local NE swells.
