Into next week and offshore winds freshen into Mon as a new trough forms offshore from the Gascoyne and moves southwards.
Better signs ahead as a stronger high approaches Tasmania later next week, building a stronger ridge and a better tradewind coverage in the Coral Sea from Wed.
Winds shift more N’ly through Sun, then NW-W/NW and we’ll see some real size as the fetch reaches peak strength through the morning.
We’ll see the NE flow ramp up on Sun across the MNC, grading lighter the further north you go, as an approaching front and cut-off low really tightens the pressure gradient.
We’ll see that N-NE flow really ramp up on Sun as an approaching front and cut-off low really tightens the pressure gradient.
A deep polar low skirting the ice shelf well south of WA early next week will set up an excellent groundswell for the South Arm region...
A new swell is expected to build slowly on Thursday plateauing from the afternoon into Friday. Stacks of swell beyond this too!
A new swell is expected to build slowly on Thursday plateauing from the afternoon into Friday, but the main issue for the next few days will be local winds.
Surf-wise a storm force system under Africa sends long period forerunners arriving Mon in the 19-20 second band before the bulk of the swell energy in the 16-17 second band fills in later Mon and Tues.
We’ll see a new high move into the Tasman over the weekend with a SE surge developing up the Tasman and into the Coral Sea. That should see some rideable surf develop under SE-E winds through Sun into Mon and extending into Tues before easing.
