Very dynamic, unstable week ahead that has a very La Nina looking signature to it. Primarily the strong, southwards located high and a very troughy pattern in the Tasman sea, that has good swell potential for the region.
A mid-latitude low is moving in from the west and will keep conditions favourable for longer today on the Surf Coast. There's also an improvement for the weekend.
Intensifying pressure gradients between a 1025 hPa high East of Tasmania and an approaching complex mid-latitude cut-off low is seeing N to NE winds begin to freshen across Bass Strait tonight.
Next week looks even more La Nina influenced than this week, as a strong high moving at an unseasonably southwards latitude moves into the lower Tasman and directs a strong onshore flow from Wed onwards.

Tiny surf for the coming days ahead of some new swells into the weekend but with poor conditions. There's one window next week.
Make the most of the coming cleaner conditions and fun swell as next week will be mostly a write-off thanks to a slow moving and high-riding mid-latitude low.
There's plenty of westerly swell on the way and with workable winds across both regions. Make the most of it before things become slow mid-late next week.
There's a few fun windows of waves in between bouts of onshore winds. Get stuck in as mid-late next week looks slow.
High pressure drifts across the Tasman from a position in Tasmanian latitudes this week. An approaching mid-latitude low in the Bight tightens the the pressure gradient along the western flank of the high in the Tasman, with an increase in N to NE winds off NSW coast through Wed. It’s Thursday and Friday that really muscle up with gales aimed directly at NETas.
