Looking further afield, and we’ve got some interesting developments elsewhere, with deepening tropical activity south of Fiji broadening a surface trough through the north-eastern Tasman Sea through the first half of the week, forming an impressive E/NE fetch that’ll probably stretch way out into the South Pacific.
The synoptic are really busy for next week, and we have a wide variety of tricky swell sources on the way. In fact, most of the likely energy we’ll see will be generated from distant sources off the usual charts.
Small and flukey refracted southerly swells for the period, with the best pulse due later next week, though winds look a problem.
Building levels of groundswell over the coming period with generally favourable winds, though possibly onshore when the largest swell hits.
Clean conditions all day tomorrow as the surf eases, followed by fun pulses of swell into early and later next week. One day of dicey winds in the mix.
Average tomorrow but much better from Sunday with stronger swells and improving winds. Larger into the end of the week but winds are a bit hit and miss at this stage.
Building and strengthening swells over the coming days as winds and conditions improve. Strong persistent swells next week but with varying winds.
A large and strong though inconsistent long-period SW groundswell for tomorrow and the weekend, easing into next week with a smaller S/SW pulse on the cards.
A good large though inconsistent long-period SW groundswell for the weekend, easing into next week with a smaller S/SW pulse on the cards.
We’ve got a complex outlook ahead, with tropical cyclones, long period southerly swells, sub-tropical lows and local troughs contributing swells of varying strength and sizes. Bring it on, eh?
