This broad tradewind fetch isn’t anything amazing, but with a persistent coverage of 20-25 Knot winds Tuesday into Thursday we should get a fully developed sea state, which is the maximum amount of energy that can be imparted into the ocean given a certain wind speed

An unusually strong high for this time of year (1034 hPa) sets up in the central Tasman with quite a firm ridge up the QLD coast. It’ll feel like a late Summer pattern with SE winds blowing..

The Southern Ocean storm track remains very strong, but it’s riding quite north in latitude, across the southern states. So, there's only one swell to work around.

We’ve got a similar chance for a small flukey south swell, originated from a secondary fetch of W/SW gales exiting eastern Bass Strait on Sunday.
