Next week still looks iffy for winds as a node of the long wave trough steers fronts into the SW while slow moving high pressure sits in the Central Indian Ocean. Those fronts will maintain a moderate sized series of SW pulses from Tues.

We should see a weak, E’ly trade flow develop across the Eastern extremity of the Coral Sea and into the South Pacific slot later next week which would see some background E swell start to fill in later next week.

A shallow troughy change Mon looks to stall south of the MNC on Mon. If that current outlook holds we’re looking at a working week of N’ly winds and patches of NE windswell.

A gusty S/SW change is due into the South Arm around 7-8am Thursday (give or take) so any chances of surfing will need to happen at dawn.
