Poor weekend conditions with deteriorating winds and an average S'ly swell, improving next week and the following weekend.
Primary tabs
Clean conditions with fun swell pulses to end off the week ahead of a larger, windy S/SW swell Sunday. Slower surf into next week but clean from Tuesday onwards.
Improving conditions from Wednesday with a mix of swells sources, windy and cold from Sunday with a strong polar frontal progression.
Into next week and we’re in for a couple of wild and wooly days as the front smashes into the state Mon, bringing wild weather and large storm surf mixed with long period groundswell.
The weekend will have plenty of swell and good winds, especially Saturday. Storms riding up a lobe of the long wave trough Wed/Thurs positioned favourably for WA swell production (and Indo) send plenty of moderate sized swell for the weekend.
Weekend looks pretty good, with moderate storm activity in the Central Indian Ocean sending another moderate W/SW swell towards WA.
Into next week and a compact but powerful cut-off low approaches the state early next week. Early incarnations of the low aim up severe gales generating a strong W/SW pulse Tues.
A deep polar low is tracking NE from E of Heard Island today, with a long trailing fetch of SW gales and seas in excess of 20ft in a wide swathe. Iterations of this storm system will bring strong pulses of SW swell over the next few days and into the weekend, with onshore winds a problem.
As mentioned on Fri, a series of fronts pushing up from Heard Island bring quite an active week of mid-sized surf but finding windows of cleaner conditions will be a challenge.
Tricky winds and swells this period but there are windows for a cleaner wave in between onshore periods.
