A strong, but decaying cold front tied to a mid-latitude low is pushing gales through a wide swathe of the lower Tasman, with a handy S swell now being generated for the region. A relatively weak high (1025hPa) is pushing though the Bight with a transitory ridge, quickly breaking down and tending N’ly mid week , before another mid-latitude low pushes through and brings a NW to W’ly flow across the weekend.

Large easing surf with favourable winds over the coming days ahead of a tricky W'ly swell later week and into the weekend.

Building surf late in the weekend but large into next week.

Weak swells for the weekend ahead of a larger, upgraded S/SW groundswell early next week.
