We’ve currently got a deep polar low with two strong embedded fronts tracking NE into the lower Tasman. High pressure moves up over NSW with easing pressure gradients while a trough deepens off the QLD coast and drifts south over the weekend.
The coming days look great wind and swell wise for the South Coast, well worth making the most of.
There'll be improving surfing options over the weekend, best Sunday for spots to the east. Next week looks a little better as well.
Good SW groundswell for the coming days, with a larger, more consistent swell mid-next week.
Tomorrow looks OK but the weekend is much better for a surf across the region.
The only hope is some small E swell from a distant fetch which may see some rideable waves ta spots exposed to the Capricorn to Breaksea Spit channel opening. We’ll see some potential 1-2ft surf through Thurs/Fri and Sat from that source.
It’s an impressive fetch with severe gale to storm force winds in a wide band moving NE, only offset by winds being not perfectly aimed up the pipe.
A strong cold outbreak has led to the formation of a winter-calibre low in the Tasman (984hPa), backed by a strong, slow moving high in the Bight. We’re seeing the formation of strong S swells from this system, which will peak tomorrow then ease with a following front and deep low well to the south providing a strong S groundswell over the weekend under light winds.
The coming outlook contains lots of north wind and tricky west swells.
