As a result, we’re looking at small NE windswells for temperate NSW, with trade swells for the sub-tropics and a marginal amount of that swell filtering down to temperate regions.

There is quite a strong front tracking across the lower Tasman in advance of this high cell, along with a polar low,  which will send some useful S swells our way before the high sets up a blocking pattern, which is expected to be reinforced by another large high next week.

We’ll see that N-NE flow really ramp up on Sun as an approaching front and cut-off low really tightens the pressure gradient.

Another unstable, troughy week ahead with humid, unstable air over the continent creating a series of troughs, one of which forms a slow moving trough of low pressure off the Mid North Coast which interacts with a weak high pressure cell drifting in the Tasman. That will supply some workable E quadrant swell favouring temperate NSW.
