Looks like a windy couple of days ahead, thanks to a strong ridge of high pressure over the eastern states, maintaining a fresh southerly airstream throughout much of the NSW coast. More in the Forecaster Notes.

I’m not expecting much surf on Saturday. On Sunday, a new long period S’ly swell will fill in across the coast, but timing will be the key here. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Make the most of Saturday, before we enter an extended period of small, flukey, peripheral southerly swells. There are still options though despite the flat-lined swell chart. More in the Forecaster Notes.

In 2015, Craig Brokensha penned an article When is an east coast low not an East Coast Low? Right now, we’ve got a classic, though rare example of the reverse.
