The low responsible for both yesterday’s Sly swell and the weekend’s underlying energy will meander through the southern Tasman Sea over the weekend, in a pretty decent swell generating capacity. More in the Forecaster Notes.
So, the fetch that generated our current E/SE swell is slowly abating across the central eastern Tasman Sea. But, that’s not the only swell expected to be in the water over the coming days. More in the Forecaster Notes.
The most dominant characteristic of the forecast period is an extended run of southerly quadrant winds. But there are plenty of waves in store. Check out the Forecaster Notes for more.
I’m not expecting much surf anywhere this weekend. But next week is a different story. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Thursday morning’s a tricky call. We’ve got almost thirteen hours of darkness, and only sporadic buoy updates to check on, and I’ve gotta commit to a figure right now. More in the Forecaster Notes.
We’re now well and truly on the backside of this recent run of prolonged southerly swell. The main casualty will be SE Qld, which - in the absence of any easterly swell - will see tiny conditions persist until the weekend. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Local winds will gradually ease all weekend, in fact we should see light variable winds by Saturday afternoon and for most of Sunday across most regions. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Wave heights are now trending down and will continue to ease slightly through Thursday. But, there's a stack more southerly swell on the way. More in the Forecaster Notes.
