Swell Alert: A Powerful South and SSE groundswell is about to Rock the East Coast
The month of January isn’t exactly renowned for big south swells – and given the projected, surf-related impacts associated with this year’s La Nina, you’d think we’re more likely to see a large swell arriving out of east or northeast.
The La Nina looks like coming back into play late this month. In the meantime, we’re now on the cusp of a large and long-enduring run of South and SSE groundswell across the East Coast: its evolution following a long-wave trough amplifying over eastern Australian and NZ longitudes. Its evolution now manifesting a large, complex and quasi stationary low pressure system south to southeast of the Tasman Sea and NZ.

WEST COAST? EAST COAST? IT’S PUMPING EVERYWHERE!
Well, almost all. But definitely a solid weekend ahead.
