The whole synoptic pattern surrounding this developing trough and possible East Coast Low has been stalled by a day or so. This means we’re looking at building swells and mainly dodgy winds on Saturday, with a peak in size on Sunday and a better chance for improving conditions.

Wave models have a minor reinforcement of E’ly swell due early Saturday morning, extending from the same fetch that produced today’s waves - essentially, an infeed of NE winds into the broad but slowly weakening Tasman trough

The current S/SE swell will continue a downwards trend for the next few days, but it’ll be supplemented by a small secondary pulse from the same direction on Thursday afternoon.

The timing of this south swell is quite unfortunate - we’re going to see it peak overnight and then trend downwards all day Tuesday.
