The powerful surface low in the Northern Tasman this weekend is expected to send some quality E/NE swell down to NETas.
Primary tabs
The fetch is very broad, basically the entire lower Tasman covered in gales under current modelling. That suggests plenty of size from the S-S/SE Thurs, persisting into Fri.
Nothing much of interest in the short run. A deep polar low sends some small long period S swell wrap to the Coast tomorrow.
A strong front and embedded trough of low pressure are currently located just off the Gippsland Coast, expected too move NE into the Tasman and driving a strong/ near gale force S’ly flow up the Tasmanian Coast today. There’ll be an initial burst of S swell associated with the proximate fetch before the low moves NE out of the Tasmanian swell window.
Unfortunately for NETas the low quickly moves NE with the fetch located too far north to generate meaningful swells for the east coast.
Sunday looks a little juicier as the large fetch of gales passes into the Tasman generating a stronger S swell.
The coming week will see ebbs and pulses of S'ly groundswell on the south magnets.
The south magnets will be the pick over the coming days for a surf with fun pulse of south energy.
One down, one to go.
We've got a very dynamic and exciting week of swell and winds ahead.
