Essentially, we’ve got a series of overlapping southerly swells on target for Southern NSW. And some NE swell at the end of the week. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Primary tabs
Sunday’s south swell will be related to a small fetch associated a much broader, more complex series of polar lows and fronts further south. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Another series of poorly aligned fronts are approaching the southern tip of New Zealand from the south-west, and although the swell they’re generating will be aimed into the eastern Tasman Sea and South Pacific, we’ll see a small spread back into Southern NSW. More in the Forecaster Notes.
The models really aren’t handling this current southerly swell, nor any of the upcoming energy due throughout the week. More in the Forecaster Notes.
So, we’ve got a weekend of two halves. More in the Forecaster Notes.
The weekend’s northern Tasman Low that set up camp off New Zealand’s north-west tip earlier this week didn’t quite perform as well as model guidance indicated on Monday. More in the Forecaster Notes.
A strong E/SE fetch will develop off the west coast of the North Island today, holding into tomorrow morning, and this will kick up a nice E’ly tending E/SE swell for Southern NSW. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Our current run of SE swell will continue into the weekend, becoming larger and more powerful, easing into next week. Improving winds from Sunday.
Lots of swell inbound with workable winds for the most part.
The main synoptic feature this week is a vigorous front that’ll reach SA/Vic this evening, before crossing the Southern NSW coast on Tuesday. More in the Forecaster Notes.
