This broad tradewind fetch isn’t anything amazing, but with a persistent coverage of 20-25 Knot winds Tuesday into Thursday we should get a fully developed sea state, which is the maximum amount of energy that can be imparted into the ocean given a certain wind speed
Winds won't really improve across the South West until late week, but more so the weekend with better windows to the north following the extra large, stormy episode.
Energy radiating from this source fetch is expected to see a slow tail off in wave heights through tomorrow, with some rideable leftovers Wed, but you will have to deal with freshening N’ly winds.
Similar to last week, the surf will fade over the coming days ahead of a large mix of new swells late week, cleaner into the weekend with another good swell.
Fading surf over the coming days ahead of initially inconsistent groundswells from the west late week, better into the weekend.
We've got a bit of size due this weekend with one day being much cleaner than the other. Surf fades into early next week.
Still on track for fun S’ly groundswell Saturday generated by an intense polar low with a mostly W’ly fetch and a better angled following front with a more favourable SW fetch
An unusually strong high for this time of year (1034 hPa) sets up in the central Tasman with quite a firm ridge up the QLD coast. It’ll feel like a late Summer pattern with SE winds blowing..
Make the most of the current (windy) surf as it'll get windier over the weekend before the gales and XL swells move in again early-mid next week.
Our “long tail” is still on the menu to start next week. With the small but intense low becoming slow moving as it drifts NE up towards the Northern peninsula of the North Island, crossing it overnight Sun.
