The weekend may in fact pick up an unusual spread of S/SE swell, from westerly gales pushing off the coast. Thereafter we'll see plenty of strong south swell into next week. More in the Forecast Notes.

The models have changed the structure and evolution of a deep Tasman Low that’s expected to form east of the South Coast on Saturday morning. But despite the slight downgrade in the model guidance, I actually prefer the progged evolution. More in the Forecaster Notes.

It'll be windy over the coming days but from the right direction. Make the most of it as the swell eases.
