Tradewinds are now contracting Eastwards and the Coral Sea is going to quieten right down this week with only weak pressure gradients and light winds.
Weak, mobile high pressure in the Tasman gets reinforced by another rapidly weakening low well to the south of Tasmania tomorrow. A small trough of low pressure off the Gippsland coast moves south and aims a fetch of E’ly winds directly at East Coast Tasmania.
As the swell becomes smallest, it'll become cleanest during the coming period.
A small trough of low pressure off the Gippsland coast is replaced by another trough system later in the week. Far to the south of this hot, soupy mess a series of stronger polar lows are traversing the Far Southern Ocean sending small long period S swell trains our way.
Options in the South West across the magnets ahead of a good swell Friday.
Get in tomorrow before the swell fades. There's a good swell due into the weekend but with poor winds.
A small trough of low pressure off the Gippsland coast is replaced by another trough system later in the week. Far to the south of this hot, soupy mess a series of stronger polar lows are traversing the Far Southern Ocean, supplying some small pulses of S swell.
Try and surf today and through tomorrow before winds deteriorate later week, spoiling a good SW groundswell for the weekend.
Into next week and the slow moving pattern remains entrenched through most of next week with a “stuck” high pressure to the SW of WA maintaining an ESE-SE flow- depending on the positioning of an inland trough.
Building swells are expected regionally over the weekend, though they’ll be sourced from a polar low sequence below the continent.
