Trickier wind outlook developing for the South Coast
Trickier wind outlook developing for the South Coast
We've got one final pulse of large groundswell for tomorrow morning before things go a little funky.
We've got one final pulse of large groundswell for tomorrow morning before things go a little funky.
We’ve got a really dynamic outlook this week as a strong high drifts across from the Bight and a trough drawing in tropical moisture from the Indian Ocean moves across the country and eventually enters the Tasman Sea, with a long angled trough and possible surface low expected to form in the Tasman late this week.
Make the most of the current conditions and tomorrow before things go off the boil.
Protected spots will fair best over the coming period until Tuesday.
The peak of each swell looks to arrive with less than ideal winds.
Tradewinds are expected to develop in the Coral Sea through next week, leading to rideable surf from mid week.
No change to the wind outlook for the weekend- zonal fronts and weak high pressure to the west and well out in the Coral Sea supply W’ly ridging across Tasmania so more mod/fresh W tending NW winds across the weekend with minor S swells.
Doesn’t look we’ll see much swell of significance from these zonal fronts so expect small swells from the S over the weekend, only really favouring S swell magnets in NENSW.
Large, windy surf will persist over the weekend before improving inside the gulf early next week.
Model divergence reduces confidence in the outlook with GFS suggesting the trough deepens into a broad surface low which would bring days of elevated S through SE-E/SE swell and onshore winds.
