A series of powerful, complex lows will cross the Tasmanian region early next week, strengthening N’ly tending W’ly winds on Monday morning that could reach gale to storm force strength. More in the Forecaster Notes.
A complex series of powerful lows will track across Tasmanian longitudes from Monday onwards, delivering W/NW tending W’ly gales and building strong surf across the region.
There’s plenty of surf in store for the longer term period. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Our swell windows are devoid of any major synoptic activity, and with our recent glancing southerly swell now exiting to the north, we have to look towards peripheral swell sources for the short term. More in the Forecaster Notes.
A series of vigorous weather systems approaching the state this weekend are not expected to impact the coast until Monday. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Our current blocking pattern will break down over the coming days, with one heck of a complex, powerful weather progression expected to push through our immediate swell window from Saturday through Wednesday. More in the Forecaster Notes.
We’re in the midst of a regional blocking pattern with the main influence for our region being a stationary belt of high pressure across the Southern Ocean, stretching from underneath Western Australia through South Australia to a position below Tasmania.
Easing swells through Wednesday and Thursday will precede an increase around Friday, thanks to a new NE swell generated by a broad infeed into the Tasman trough.
This week’s synoptic pattern is essentially a regional block, whereby there’s very little movement in the local weather systems from day to day and therefore no major change in local winds and weather either.
The models are showing a small long period S’ly swell across Southern NSW on Tuesday and Wednesday, around half a metre at about 14-15 seconds. More in the Forecaster Notes.
