SE-E/SE swell is the main swell next week as the low remains slow moving in the eastern Tasman.
The fetch responsible for the current E swell is well out in the South Pacific and migrating eastwards with diminishing swells from that source.
A what looked to be fairly benign low has been upgraded with an upgrade in the swell outlook for the weekend.
The end of the week will remain onshore for the South West, improving on the weekend with a one decent pulse of swell.
The trough forms a broad surface low that briefly flares up as it drifts towards the North Island and interacts with a more tropical derived low.
A fun new west swell on the Mid Coast this afternoon is worth making the most of before windier conditions kick in from tomorrow.
The weekend outlook still remains slightly fluid so check back on Friday for one more look at it. Next week will become fun across the beaches again.
Slow, easing week, with more swell potential later next week.
Good news though for next week with another powerful high expected to move through the Bight and set up a strong ridge up the QLD coast and deep E’ly-SE’ly flow through the Coral Sea.
The weekend’s fronts and lows sweeping up from the south look to consolidate early next week into a much stronger system, backed by a strong high in the Bight.
