A trough in the jet stream and low in the Tasman will disrupt this flow and we’ll see a few tiny days as a result early next week.

We’ll see some small SE swell as the new high pressure ridge builds windfield in the Coral Sea and Northern Tasman but this will be smaller and weaker than previous swells of this ilk.

The high becomes even more slow moving as it approaches Tasmania so we’re looking at S-SE flow over the weekend. And with winds in the Coral Sea, plenty of E/SE swell.

Into next week and we’ll see more of the same as another surge fills the Coral Sea early next week, holding or even rebuilding wave heights from Tues.
