Lotsa wind, lotsa swell

This is looking like a hallmark winter pattern, with four days of westerly gales

An amplifying Long Wave Trough over the southern states will drive a series of powerful fronts through the Bight throughout next week.
Get in early Sat as SE winds blow as an embedded low drifts down from the Central West. Once that system moves E we’ll see fresh S’ly winds set in.
Into next week and a quick spike in NE windswell is expected Mon AM into Tues AM as another mid-latitude low approaches from the Bight and tightens the pressure gradient with the high in the Tasman.
Our Autumnal run of surf and condition is now going to be replaced by a more late winter-style pattern, dominated by W’ly winds. A complex low pressure gyre is located over Tasmania with a trough having moved offshore from the NSW coast and a cold front pushing through Bass Strait today.

This is an unusual swell source for the South Arm (and indeed, the entirety of Storm Bay) on a number of fronts.
Yep, we've got a whole stack of surf due next week, as a Long Wave Trough amplifies across the entire southern expanse of the continent.
A strong disturbance near Heard Island Sun/Mon generates seas to 30ft before being shunted southwards as it passes 90E. This will generate a series of SW swell pulses beginning Tues.
Pretty much nothing of interest for the rest of the week.
