The Indian Ocean remains in a progressive pattern with a large high pressure belt and zonal disturbances in the Roaring 40’s supplying moderate overlapping SW pulses on a 24-36hr basis. Basically, overlapping swell pulses from these zonal storms will hold moderate surf all week, with subtle ups and downs.

Extended tradewind swell ahead

We’ll see a strong high edge in from the Bight early this week and take up residence in the Tasman Sea, with a broad and persistent Tradewinds fetch developing in the Coral Sea. We should see just rideable surf through Tues and Wed ramp up on Thurs as windspeeds increase in the Coral Sea.

Small S pulses this week, strongest Fri with summer winds

A large high is approaching from well south of the Bight and expected to occupy the Tasman from Thurs, with a more summer style wind pattern of SE-E winds in the sub-tropics and NE winds in temperate NSW. Tradewinds will supply workable swells for the sub-tropics medium term with small pulses of S swell this week favouring NSW.
