A semi-stationary area of low pressure in the Coral Sea is anchoring a broad trade-wind flow with an extended tradeswell event ahead.
To the south, a severe gale to storm force fetch off the ice shelf from a retrograding low under the South Island sends a rare S/SE groundswell up the Pipe, with another strong front/low late this week into the weekend expected to generate another pulse of S’ly groundswell over the weekend.
There's nothing of note this week thanks to generally average local winds. A strong swell is due on the weekend with decent winds.
The low sits semi-stationary new New Caledonia from today, anchoring a tradewinf flow in the Coral Sea that will provide an extended period of fun waves for CQ, especially spots open to swells through the Breaksea Spit- Capricorn Channel swell window.
A deep low with strong gales currently tracking in a NE direction SE of Tasmania justifies a slight upgrade in size for this weekend at S exposed breaks.
It's a very dynamic couple of days with strong pulses of swell and varying winds.
Nothing major swell wise and with generally average winds at the peak of energy.
Common to all major models is a robust tradewind flow through the Coral and Northern Tasman which will favour the sub-tropics for size into the weekend 10-11/2 and hold plenty of pulsey E’ly tradewind swell through most of next week from Tues.
Winds will be favourable for the South Coast on the weekend with back to back strong swells while the Mid Coast will see novelty surf.
A deep low with strong gales currently tracking in a NE direction SE of Tasmania justifies an upgrade in size for this weekend.
