The surf will bottom out tomorrow ahead of building surf from Friday, becoming large and significant Sunday/Monday.
Clean conditions with moderate sized + swell pulses continue this period.
Poor surf over the coming days with onshore winds and small surf. A fun swell with improving conditions is due later week, possibly larger Sunday but with onshore winds.
In the short run and small, long period S swell trains are on the menu for Tues, generated by continuing frontal activity in the lower Tasman mostly aimed at New Zealand targets.
The South Coast will offer the best waves this period with winds from the north-western quadrant and tons of south-west swell.
A winter calibre front and low has now transited the Tasman, after generating a solid S swell for the Eastern Seaboard. Large high pressure (1032 hPa)is moving across inland NSW bringing settled conditions and light winds to the region, for the next few days.
Late this week, likely Fri, we’ll see a cold front and upper trough combine to form another deep, coastal low possibly with gales to strong gales. Compared to the last system that generated XL surf in Sydney, this low is positioned slightly further north and moves away quicker, suggesting sizey surf but smaller than the last event.
Large, easing surf from later today with reinforcing pulses through the week under favourable winds until Friday. Another large swell looms Sunday/Monday.
Besides Sunday, the period is clean with tons of swell.
We’re expecting some fun waves for the weekend, with our Tasman low stalling and deepening over the last 24-36hrs, slightly further away from NZ than modelled. That’s allowed E’ly quarter low end gales to develop in our swell window.
