This sees the next round of NE windswell building through Sat as the N’ly fetch freshens adjacent to the Island and extends up the Far South Coast during the day.
The good news for our surf prospects is a complex low pressure system located just NE of the North Island is strong enough and large enough to generate severe gales to low end storm force SE/ESE winds out of Cook Strait, adjacent to the Taranaki peninsula and extending out into the Eastern Tasman sea.
There's a steady supply of tiny W/SW swell on the way but winds are tricky. A fun new swell is due early next week.
Current ASCAT (satellite wind speed) passes show areas of the fetch already at storm force strength as it develops in the areas mentioned above, leading to high confidence in the upcoming f/cast.
We're looking at better winds for the Margaret River region over the coming period, though still tricky. Further north winds will have a southerly bias as well.
The Mid Coast will offer the cleanest conditions though generally small surf this period, with only a couple of windows down South.
The coming period is fairly average wind wise, but there is one day to focus on.
Easing surf with workable winds over the coming days ahead of a tiny run of swell.
A much stronger intensification of the fetch occurs Wed, as strong to low end gale NE winds develop off Bass Strait, extending up off the Gippsland Coast.
Weak fronts but workable swells over this coming period, worth making the most of before things go quiet next week.
