The long running easterly swell machine that’s provided an extended period of useful trade swells is finally drawing to a close. But there's a stack of south swlel on the way. More in the Forecaster Notes.
We're coming to the end of a long E'ly swell cycle, as a strong S'ly swell cycle starts to take shape. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Looks like a fun week of useful trade swell across most coasts. And there's a whole stack of south swell for next week. More in the Forecaster Notes.
There’s plenty of surf due next week but no major size. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Gusty S/SE winds will dominate the rest of the week, though it’ll actually originate from a second change currently pushing into Southern NSW (this afternoon’s change was associated with a local trough).
First up: swell. There won’t be any shortage of it this week, thanks to a broad ridge north of New Zealand. More in the Forecaster Notes.
We’ve got building E’ly swells for SE Qld and Far Northern NSW, originating primarily from a broad, complex series of surface troughs across the lower Coral Sea. More in the Forecaster Notes.
The main synoptic features right now are two surface troughs, one off the Central Qld coast and the other off the Mid North Coast. More in the Forecaster Notes.
A reasonable ridge is building through the lower Coral Sea, and will extend out across the Northern Tasman Sea over the coming days. This will be a useful source of E’ly swell for most coasts. More in the Forecaster Notes.
