We’ve got a troughy, unstable synoptic pattern on our hands with monsoonal clouds and moisture extending from the Top End dawn to a trough off the NSW South Coast. Weak pressure gradients look to be with us for a few days as the trough lingers about the NSW Central/Mid North Coast, possibly forming a small low. Small pulses of E swell generated by fetches near the North Island supply some fun sized surf if you can work around the shifty winds expected this week.

We've got plenty of activity due this week, climaxing with a large SW groundswell and return to winteresque conditions and weather late week.

That's leading to continuing light winds in the Coral Sea and tiny surf. Models are suggesting a minor increase in SE swell tomorrow as the trade flow perks up just a notch but any increase will be very minor so keep expectations low with knee high waves expected at best. Maybe just surfable at exposed breaks.

The weekend will be good for beginners tomorrow morning with better swells and windows for a surf through next week.
