Some fun new west swell is due tomorrow as conditions improve into the afternoon, with a larger south-west groundswell for the weekend.

This anchored trough fetch, or trough block pattern is favourable for swell production for almost the entire Eastern Seaboard and will come with mostly offshore winds until the weekend brings a more S’ly biased flow to Tasmania. We’ll see remnants of a small low at the terminus of the trough get captured over the weekend and generate S swells from the return flow of a regenerated low.

Lots of quality surf expected with E then S swells and mostly offshore winds

A trough is currently clearing the coast, expected to anchor a broad E’ly fetch generated by a monster high straddling New Zealand.

Fun waves persist into the weekend

An inland trough eventually clears the coast later Tues or Wed and the broad E’ly infeed into the trough transforms a typical but out of season tradewind fetch into a more broadscale “trough block” feature which will send swell to most of the Eastern Seaboard.
