Including today, we have nine consecutive days of northerlies forecast by the computer models across Northern NSW.
Primary tabs
The trades have been inactive of late so we’re not expecting much new energy out of the east; a minor flow is developing south of New Caledonia today and we’ll see a small uptick into Sunday (ahead of slightly bigger surf early next week).
Small swells will pad out the rest of the working week. Though conditions should be workable with mainly light variable winds.
No major size is expected from this, but with three possible south swells in the water, plus a light variable wind outlook, surely we can’t go too wrong to finish the week?
The long range S/SE swell due across the Mid North Coast late Sunday should continue through Monday across all Northern NSW coasts and some south swell magnets in SE Qld.
Conditions will be clean in SE Qld early Friday morning for a reasonable spell but we won’t be immune from the developing northerly so make the most of the early smooth conditions.
The polar SE swell source is expected to ebb and flow within our swell window right throughout the forecast period.
The polar SE swell source is expected to ebb and flow within our swell window right throughout the forecast period.
In short, Mid North Coast has potential Saturday, everywhere else for Sunday. But keep your expectations low and your eyes peeled for windows of opportunity.
The anchored E’ly fetch south of New Caledonia and Fiji over the last few days is generating a minor bump in size that should arrive overnight, and show best early Thursday morning.
