Expect some revisions on Mon but at this stage we should see a developing E-E/NE flow into the trough, aimed up at NETas, possibly as early as Wed.
The coming period is a little dicey for the South Coast with tiny swells inside the gulf so get in today and tomorrow if you can.
A broad but weak E'ly tradewind fetch occupies the Coral Sea, producing some workable E'ly swell.
Slow moving high pressure is drifting in the Central Tasman with a classic summer wind signature of NE winds along temperate NSW, tending more SE-E in the sub-tropics.
The coming period looks average wind wise so make the most of this morning and tomorrow.
Fun waves in eastern Indonesia and across selected spots in the Maldives.
Good pulses of swell are due tomorrow and Saturday.
That will be the dominant feature of our synoptic set-up for some time, which sees high pressure in the Tasman and a firm ridge up the sub-tropical coast and broad fetch of E-E/SE winds in the Coral Sea.
There is quite a strong front tracking across the lower Tasman in advance of this high cell, along with a polar low, which will send some useful S swells our way before the high sets up a blocking pattern, which is expected to be reinforced by another large high next week.
A large but not especially strong (1029 hPa) high pressure cell is west of Tasmania and slowly moving E where it enters the Tasman and becomes very slow moving. That will be the dominant feature of our synoptic set-up for some time, with a classic summer wind signal of SE winds in the sub-tropics, tending NE through temperate NSW.
