Longer term and we’ll be watching the South Pacific Convergence Zone for signs of low pressure development near Fiji later next week, possibly even retrograding back towards the Australian continent.
The coming period looks less favourable with the Mid Coast swells peaking with onshore winds, mostly onshore down South.
The beaches are the pick today ahead of a favourable run for the Surf Coast.
We’re still looking at a peak in S swell Mon but the frontal passage responsible for it now looks more mobile and poorly aligned so wave heights get a haircut.
Strengthening westerly winds across Indonesia with slower swells in the Maldives. The incoming swell for Indonesia looks to be under-forecast on the charts.
Once the new high sets up shop in the Tasman we’ll see a weak E’ly flow set up in the Coral Sea which will generate a tiny, just rideable surf into the weekend.
The coming days will be tiny ahead of a bit more energy Sunday but more so Monday.
Once the new high sets up shop in the Tasman we’ll see the N-NE flow which has been a constant for a month reset until a front brings a W’ly change on the weekend. No major swells ahead as the pattern of weak, mobile high pressure continues but there’ll be some windows of opportunity with small NE windswell and minor flushes of S swell.
From tomorrow conditions will slowly improve along with a large swell early next week.
A long tradewind fetch anchored by a 1024hPa high in the central SW Pacific is slowly retreating eastwards with a weak high cell expected to migrate into the Tasman overnight and tomorrow in the wake of a shallow trough now moving up the NSW Coast and expected to stall and wash out around the lower reaches of the MNC.
