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.

Plenty of swell and cleaner conditions for the South Coast tomorrow ahead of a windy, stormy run of solid surf on the Mid Coast Friday through Sunday.

Large surf early tomorrow, easing steadily through the weekend while tending more E/NE. Follow up S swell mid-week.

A fun pulse of swell for the weekend with favourable morning winds, deteriorating into next week with nothing overly size. Cleaner conditions late week.
