Good pulses of swell with favourable winds during the mornings but mainly out of the south-eastern quadrant.

A tight low firing up under Western Australia today will produce a better pulse of westerly swell over the coming days and while winds are far from perfect there should be a few workable options.

Options will be limited with the coming swell this week as a high pressure ridge moving in from the west slows the local improvement in winds.

A broad but weak tradewind fetch pushes south from the Coral Sea, extending out towards New Caledonia, and looping around a long trough extending from roughly Lord Howe up into the tropics.
