We’re still looking at a fairly bland synoptic pattern with a weak, troughy environment in the Tasman, undergirded by zonal frontal activity well to the south. Some modest frontal activity pushes through late in the week with a developing N’ly flow on Sun set to provide some NE windswell.
Nothing amazing is expected as the energy sources weren’t terribly strong, nor were they well aligned perfectly within our swell window.
Into the weekend and we won’t see too much in the way of swell energy with the Indian Ocean in a quiet phase through the main WA swell window.
A series of modest fronts skirting the southern states probably won’t affect our local winds too much in the short term, however we will see plenty of surf.
A series of modest fronts skirting the southern states will maintain a westerly airstream for the next few days.
The result is a weak, troughy pattern in the Tasman and inland and weak winds in the Coral Sea- unstable but not very surfy. With nothing of any significance in the outlook we’ll see tiny/flat surf once this small signal fades away tomorrow.
Under current modelling it looks one of the more significant NE fetches for the Spring, extending north into sub-tropical latitudes right down to Tasmania.
High pressure drifts into the Bight but weakens as the week progresses with a weak high cell budding off and moving NE into the Tasman. The result is a weak, troughy pattern in the Tasman and inland- unstable but not very surfy.

There’s a very minor fetch Sun/Mon next week that may generate some just rideable surf on Sun/Mon but keep expectations low, it’ll be tiny and weak if it’s rideable, so bring a log.
