Before we get into the cyclone swell outlook, there’s been a local synoptic developments in the models since Friday that will be our short term focus. More in the Forecaster Notes.
So, what’s that - six or seven different swells this week? I’m sure you’ll find something worthwhile in and amongst the local wind changes. More in the Forecaster Notes.
A significant upgrade on the swell forecast for the coming days as a surface trough deepens into a low north-east of us.
Plenty of fun swell pulses over the coming days but winds remain an issue for the peaks in size.
Get stuck into the current swell before it eases as the coming week is looking fairly average. There's a new groundswell on the cards for next week but it'll be very inconsistent.
There's nothing too significant on the cards for the coming week or two, but there are a couple of small windows to try and pick out of the forecast.
A very typical summer forecast with no considerable swells and average winds. Finding a window will be tricky so make the most of today.
I’m normally quite skeptical about swell potential from tropical cyclones, and prefer to downplay surf prospects unless there’s a lot of supporting evidence elsewhere. In the case of Severe TC Yasa, there are actually quite a few positives but also a few negatives. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Our current swell will fade tomorrow with some poor windswell for Sunday/Monday ahead of some inconsistent, but better E/NE groundswell from Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasa.
All eyes remain on Severe TC Yasa, which recently passed over Fiji and has now properly entered our swell window. More in the Forecaster Notes.
