An East Coast Low is forming off the Southern NSW coast, and it’s resulting in a lot of headaches on the forecasting front. As such, confidence is rather low on the specifics for the entire forecast period
So, we’ve got an East Coast Low developing on our doorstep, and the next few days are certainly looking very complex in the surf department.
There are a few options for a surf this week with fresh swells on Tuesday and Wednesday and workable winds in the morning, a fading swell and favourable winds on Thursday and fun looking pulse on Friday.
The large swell which we have been monitoring is still on track for the weekend, with the latest model update showing a more promising scenario for a brief window of moderately/relatively okay winds for Saturday morning. Stay tuned.
Good S'ly groundswell filling in Wednesday, easing Thursday with a new NE swell in the mix. Building E'ly swell through the weekend but with onshores.
Tiny tomorrow with a strong new SW groundswell filling in Wednesday with offshores. Swell easing Thursday with a large stormy increase in S/SE swell later Friday. Swell easing all weekend with poor winds.
Plenty of swell but poor conditions besides a window Wednesday morning and then improving over the weekend.
Poor winds with plenty of swell this week, biggest through the day Wednesday. Possible window of better conditions Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning.
The main concern this weekend are the local winds.
After a long hard week of poor winds and choppy surf, the weather gods are ready to cooperate and give us something to work with. Winds will improve from Sunday tending more and more offshore as the week proegresses. Tuesday is looking like a day to earmark, with a fresh southwesterly swell of a decent size and opportunities for good waves. Also on the cards is a solid swell to end the month.
I think the models are undercalling Saturday’s surf from both sources.
