After a very slow moving synoptic pattern in the Xmas-New Years week we are finally seeing some movement as the tropical low which hived off the monsoon trough now journeys into the Southern Tasman, leading to building E/NE swells across NE Tas, where it will merge with a surface trough currently working it’s way north along the NSW Coast.

Surf easing now with a much more subdued period ahead

Current ASCAT (satellite windspeed) passes show a board fetch of strong E’ly winds now tracking SSW-SW back into the Tasman from a position half-way between New Caledonia and the North Island, generating solid ENE’ly swells which will radiate from the sub-tropics down to Eastern Tasmania this week.
