The low sweeps to the south this weekend while the trough buds off and forms a trough of low pressure off the NSW Central/South coast, bringing weather, onshore winds and large E’ly swells.
With the low near Bass Strait we should have an offshore outflow across most of the region- so offshore winds all day. A fun blend of S-S/SE and E/NE swells will be on hand.
The current swell will ease tomorrow as winds strengthen from the north-western quadrant, large and stormy Friday.
Under current modelling, by first light Sat morning a trough of low pressure will be deepening due east of the Illawarra.
Make the most of the slow swell and strengthening offshore winds today and tomorrow, as well as a good pulse of energy late week.
Westerly winds continue to impact the Maldives, with plenty of large surf to come for all locations.
Tradewinds in the Coral Sea generate small swells this week and through the second half of the week we should see a small boost in size as the fetch migrates southwards and squares up more SE of New Caledonia.
Fri looks a better bet as the fetch matures off the South Coast of NSW as a cold front arrives from the W.
A pair of weak cold fronts are expected to pass over Tasmania in the short term, generating small S swells which will overlap with the last pulses coming from the polar low now SE of New Zealand. A dynamic, troughy pattern looks set to unfold over the weekend.
