Upgrade for the weekend f/cast but next week is looking much juicier as a complex low in the Tasman aims up more directly at Tasmania.

Winds at the southern extent of the fetch will supply some small sideband energy for NETas through next week.

Following that we’ve got a spring like week ahead with fresh/strong NW winds and only some minor NE windswell wrap to offer up some rideable waves.

A slightly stronger NE windswell looks on track for Fri into Sat as pre-frontal winds freshen.

The low next to Tasmania and proximate fetch will generate a strong spike in S swell tomorrow before it quickly moves away with following fronts now looking less aligned for S swell production.

We have a deep low (985hPa) adjacent to Tasmania and another attached low centre further E in the Tasman with the long E’ly infeed into this complex low gyre focussed near the west coast of the North Island aimed up at Tasmania.

The circulation in the trough line has increased wind speeds in the fetch as the air mass moves from high to low pressure. As a result we’ll see an increase in wave heights and period through tomorrow. The return flow from the deepening low as it tracks southwards towards Tasmania in the trough line will see mod/fresh S/SW winds set in after an early W-W/NW.

This anchored trough fetch, or trough block pattern is favourable for swell production for almost the entire Eastern Seaboard and will come with mostly offshore winds until the weekend brings a more S’ly biased flow to Tasmania. We’ll see remnants of a small low at the terminus of the trough get captured over the weekend and generate S swells from the return flow of a regenerated low.

An inland trough eventually clears the coast later Tues or Wed and the broad E’ly infeed into the trough transforms a typical but out of season tradewind fetch into a more broadscale “trough block” feature which will send swell to most of the Eastern Seaboard.

This looks to set-up as the clearing trough Mon sets up a long N-S oriented line in the Tasman to Coral Seas and focusses a long E’ly tending E/NE fetch through this vast area focussing nicely into the NETas swell window around a small low at the end of the trough.
