At the same time, the Coral Sea trough will have slid southwards, developing an impressive easterly fetch between the mainland and New Caledonia. This fetch is expected to reach maturity around Monday but will weaken only slowly as it continues south of Byron latitudes into Tuesday and Wednesday.

Building mix of swells through tomorrow with light winds during the morning, peaking Sunday with a morning E/NE breeze. Easing surf Monday with northerly winds.
Sunday is the day for this swell across most coasts, it’ll build steadily through the morning and then plateau into the afternoon.
