We're looking at a poor end to the week with better options developing into the weekend.

Conditions are clean with an inconsistent new W/SW groundswell, while some stronger swell with favourable winds is due later week.

A front sweeping in behind the trough is bringing a clearing W’ly flow through temperate NSW today, reaching the sub-tropics tomorrow. A belt of high pressure below the continent is now weakening and setting us up for a more benign pattern compared to Mondays notes. Small S swell pulses are on the menu from this frontal activity.

Tradewinds are now contracting Eastwards and the Coral Sea is going to quieten right down this week with only weak pressure gradients and light winds.
