A trough in the Coral Sea accentuates an unstable SE flow in the sub-tropics and adds a local source of SE-E/SE swell into the mix north of Coffs. The high will be dominant right through into next week, as it slowly drifts into the Tasman, with some possibly juicy long range scenarios.

Although the constant S-SE winds will be problematic there’ll be heaps of swell as low pressure remains in the Tasman, with a slingshot fetch expected as the low moves N during the week.

A deepening mid-latitude low moving across us will bring some northerly windswell followed by short-range southerly energy.

There are a couple of windows shaping up for a fun surf.
