A strong ridge extends across the Central/Northern Tasman Sea, aimed up into the Coral Sea. This fetch is stationary, aimed nicely into the Coral Sea and will continue to pump out similar sized surf over the coming days.
Plenty of surf this week but tricky winds for the next few days.
These swells won’t do a lot down south but with offshore winds it’ll be well worth a drive.
A series of modest fronts through the Southern Ocean now and over the coming days (pushing east of Heard Island at the moment) will produce some small new swells for the second half of the week though no major size is expected.
The next week looks unreal for the SE Qld points.
The second half of next week looks unreal.
Unfortunately, the peak of this swell will coincide with a cold front crossing the region - attached to the same low that produced the swell (though it's now weakening).
The models have been consistent all week, the satellite data confirms the model guidance and so we’re looking at very large waves building through Saturday, peaking late afternoon and easing slowly from Sunday morning.
This swell is expected to peak on Saturday though Friday’s late session could see similarly sized sets as the peak is expected to plateau for quite a decent length of time
The remains of TC Debbie are tracking southwards, and will merge with a northwards advancing southerly change that’s due to push across Northern NSW overnight Thursday and into Friday morning.
