As ex-TC Gita tracks towards New Zealand on Tuesday, it’ll reform off the West Coast and form a broad fetch of gales that will give rise to a brief flush of SE groundswell as we progress into Thursday.
The remnants of ex-TC Gita will reform off the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island on Tuesday.
Gusty S/SE winds off the state's south-east coast will maintain short range windswells at Victor through Tuesday
We should however see some great beachies east of Melbourne with the offshore breeze
I can’t in good conscience ignore a Cat 3 cyclone aligned really well within our swell window, aiming 50-60kt winds at such close range, and simply issue a size forecast that is also theoretically possible from a standard winter Tasman Low or an E’ly dip within a fully developed trade flow.
I have no doubt that Severe Tropical Cyclone Gita is going to become Exhibit A in a meteorological course module at some unsuspecting university down the track.
Great conditions all day tomorrow with a good S'ly groundswell and building NE groundswell. Persistent levels of NE groundswell through until Wednesday, largest likely Tuesday/Wednesday with workable winds.
Strong large SW groundswell tomorrow morning, easing during the day with offshore winds. Onshore Sunday with a late increase in new swell, peaking Monday morning as onshore winds persist. Average Tuesday as well.
Average tomorrow with a low point in swell and S/SE winds. New inconsistent SW groundswell for Sunday morning with an early SE wind. Mix of swells for Tuesday, cleaner and easing Wednesday. Larger swell for Friday.
Good S/SW groundswell for tomorrow morning with favourable winds, easing Sunday with a S/SE change and poor winds Monday with a new S/SW swell. Cleaner and peaky Tuesday, small to tiny Wednesday. Possible small W/SW swell for the Mid next Thursday.
