Into next week and a long fetch of gale force winds in the screaming 50’s later this week supplies plenty of energy into next week, although nothing major. The position of the long wave trough favours Victoria as those winds form low pressure and aim up more directly at SE Aus. 

We should see fun waves up to the weekend, easing into early next week before rebuilding on the back of a SE surge Wed next week.

A weak trade flow in the Coral Sea now only looks capable of generating minor background E’ly swells. N’ly winds will increase over the weekend as a more significant trough and frontal system pushes into the Tasman next week, generating swells from the southern quadrant.

As such, Friday is the pick of the working week but late Thursday could have some options if the models change the strength and timing of the change.
