A shift in the westerly storm track closer towards us over the coming week and a bit will bring some proper, winter swells and activity.
Make the most of today's spike of swell before focussing on later next week onwards.
Large swells into early-mid next week across all locations.
There’s just enough strength in the tradewind flow through the central Coral Sea to see some small surf develop across the CQ coast. That should hold surf into Sat before easing.
More small NE windswell pulses on offer next week, but the zonal flow is expected to strafe Tasmania with strong and gusty W-W/NW winds for most of next week so surfing conditions will be rugged.
The coming period is slow so make the most of today or Friday's west swell. More activity is due mid-late next week.
The cleaner conditions currently being seen are worth making the most of before the onshore winds and stormy surf returns.
Very spring-like synoptic chart with mobile high pressure moving NE through the Tasman and a N’ly flow across most of the eastern seaboard.
A strong zonal pattern with embedded fronts and troughs is under the continent and moving eastwards. That pattern is briefly interrupted by a trough and front today before resetting again over the weekend. No major swell sources on the radar so we’ll see if we can find anything flukey to work with.
Increasing frontal activity with winds becoming less favourable for the Mid Coast.
