A huge (1035hPa) high is sitting E of Tasmania with a low pressure system straddling New Zealand. The high is directing moist onshore winds right up the Eastern Seaboard, while the low has several swell producing fetches associated with it, albeit nothing too major.
Make the most of today before the surf fades more. Building surf is due into the end of the week, excellent on the long weekend with a large new swell.
The surf will bottom out over the coming days ahead of some building W'ly swell later week and a better groundswell through the weekend with winds tending more north.
NE winds developing off the South Coast down to Bass Strait look like generating some useful NE windswell next week.
The wind outlook for Sunday has improved with a final, strong groundswell.
A new inconsistent swell with favourable winds is due tomorrow ahead of onshore breezes and oversized, stormy developing swell.
A front pushing aggressively NE into the lower Tasman on the weekend forms a low pressure centre which becomes slow moving near New Zealand early next week and this will be a co-main swell source for the week. The other source will be short range, peaky E’ly swell from a tradewind style fetch in the Southern Coral Sea.
We've got a slower period of activity following Sunday's S/SW groundswell with the surf bottoming out through next week.
A front pushing aggressively NE into the lower Tasman on the weekend forms a low pressure centre which becomes slow moving near New Zealand early next week and this will be our dominant swell source for the week.
We've got a shift in weather patterns which will see the groundswells fading along with winds out of the north-eastern quadrant in general.
