Tradewinds have been active through the Coral Sea, anchored by a small E’ly dip SW of New Caledonia. With the tradewinds fully established we are seeing a fully developed sea state through the Central/Southern Coral Sea  which will keep fun waves chugging along through this week.

Compared to Fridays notes the front/low in the Southern Tasman is a stronger system while the tradewind pattern is weaker and more disjointed. That will see S quadrant swells dominate through most of the week through temperate-sub-tropical  NSW, with a smaller tradewind swell signal north of the border being the dominant swell train. 

It’s a real shame about these local conditions, because there’s plenty of swell due on Tuesday at least, sourced from an active frontal progression late last week and into the weekend.
