This is expected to rapidly strengthen a broad E’ly fetch in our prime swell window, and will generate a solid E’ly swell that’s expected to push through for Wednesday, ahead of a peak in size on Thursday.

Ain’t it good to have our summer trade swells back on the horizon! We’ve missed ya, big fella.

Fortunately, we still have a few systems on the long range charts that are offering potential.

After the last few days, the next few are relatively straight forward from a forecasting point of view - it’s downwards.

So, there’s no shortage of size this week in a synoptic environment that feels more like June than January.

Next week’s looking very complex. As discussed on Wednesday, we have a deep Tasman Low expected to develop though the specifics have moved around a little.

Tasman Lows sound great in theory but they need to be it the right part of the basin - and aligned properly - to be of benefit to us.

Short story: more of the same. Slightly more embellished version: There’ll be small pockets of opportunity this week but you’ll have to be savvy. Next week looks better.
