The models have slightly weakened the front exiting eastern Bass Strait (for tonight), which has both eased the projected size for the flukey south swell I was expected later Thursday, and also narrowed the peak of the event into a short timeframe - most of which will occur overnight Thursday.
Primary tabs
We’ve got a spell of generally small surf ahead.
A secondary front wrapping around the core Tasman Low overnight tonight - but positioned further east in the Central Tasman Sea - will generate a secondary S/SE thru' SE swell that should fill in on Sunday morning.
We’ve got two completely different days ahead to finish the week.
There are a couple of sources of new swell for the coming days.
The weekend forecast has become a little more complex, from our south swell window.
Friday is looking much better with a new ridge of high pressure swinging winds around to a moderate W/NW. This should groom the beaches nicely with the combo of E’ly and S’ly swells.
We’ve got some really good waves ahead this week.
The current S/SE groundswell will ease through the weekend, so you’ll have to be up early to make the most of the leftovers.
We have a tricky couple of days ahead.
