No great changes expected for the weekend f/cast. Surf-wise we’ll be on the gradual downslope of our extended E/NE swell event, which is expeced to linger at low levels into early next week.
Nothing amazing swell wise but there are windows of lighter winds and cleaner conditions in the South West.
Improving conditions in the gulf through tomorrow morning with easing surf, clean, fun down South. A fun mix of swells are due Monday.
A wide variety of swell sources this period but generally increasing slowly in size on the weekend and into early next week.
Tiny surf to end the week, increasing into the weekend.
Not the best outlook over the coming days with small windows in the South West. A better swell is due next week.
Closer to home a strong high between Tasmania and the South Island is being squeezed by an approaching trough series, front and cut-off low, which is seeing N to NE gales develop on the Tasmanian East Coast swell window. Large surf with onshore/sideshore gales develops Fri before a change brings offshore winds Fri into Sat.
E’ly swell keeps chugging along this week. Despite some slow periods between pulses the ASCAT (satellite windspeed) passes shows a long, broad fetch of strong winds with gales embedded around a tropical depression. That leads to high confidence in continuing pulsey swell from that South Pacific source fetch.
Make the most of the Mid today before winds increase into the end of the week. The South Coast looks generally smallish but clean most mornings.
