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.
Our Coral Sea low is now sitting just NE of Tasmania where it has merged with an exiting interior low to form a large, slow moving low-pressure gyre. Troughs are still snaking across Australia with a long trough line extending from the low pressure gyre through inland NSW up towards QLD and then into the Northern Territory, expected to move offshore through today. More embedded troughs and fronts approach the Island during the rest of this week, driving an unstable but basically NW’ly to W’ly biased wind flow across the f/cast region through the end of the week with easing swells.
