By Sun we’ll see a low forming off the South Coast with a strong SE infeed along the southern flank of the low. That will see strong S/SE winds through Sun and building swells from the same direction.

Make the most of today ahead of a poor, windy weekend, continuing early next week with some stronger SW groundswell in the mix.

We’re now looking at a very significant S swell early next week as a deep low sits off the South or Gippsland Coast with severe gales to storm force winds aimed into the proximate southern swell window. Concurrently, another Ross Sea ice shelf fetch will be peaking or just post-peak as a massive deep low forms NE of the Ross Sea on the weekend and develops storm force winds.

We’ll see surf from this NE-E/NE infeed propagate from the sub-tropics down to temperate regions over the weekend, eventually generating swells for NETas as a surface low forms from the trough off the south coast of NSW and moves towards Bass Strait.
