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.
Into the new week and it still looks dynamic with several strong N’ly fetches.
Small, combination swells and some light wind periods pad out the rest of the week with a more entrenched N’ly episode next week with solid NE swell expected.
We’ve got a small fetch out of Cook Strait at present from a decaying low pressure system, and small, compact low about to enter the Tasman bringing todays S’ly change and a S swell tomorrow. A stronger front late this week will supply a modest S pulse heading into the weekend.
