After a much more settled, stable May the first week of June is looking like a temporary back-slide into a more La Niña-esque pattern. A huge (1035hPa) high is sitting E of Tasmania with a low pressure system straddling New Zealand. The high is directing moist onshore winds right up the Eastern Seaboard, while the low has several swell producing fetches associated with it, albeit nothing too major.

The coming days will be poor in the South West with a couple of windows to the north. Later week an XL groundswell is due.

Make the most of today before the surf fades more. Building surf is due into the end of the week, excellent on the long weekend with a large new swell.

NE winds developing off the South Coast down to Bass Strait look like generating some useful NE windswell next week.
