The excellent run of surf is nearing an end

We've got a shift in weather patterns which will see the groundswells fading along with winds out of the north-eastern quadrant in general.

No great change to the f/cast with a high pressure ridge already building across the QLD coast and set to be reinforced by a much, stronger high which moves SE of Tasmania (summer latitudes) over the weekend.
Another powerful front with gales to severe gales pushes NE into the Tasman Sat into Sun with a strong pulse of S swell making landfall across NETas at S facing beaches on Sun.
No great change to the current pattern with a large high sitting very far up (right up on the QLD/NSW border!) allowing free passage for cold fronts into the lower Tasman and a generally synoptic W’ly flow to continue across the region. Mostly long period S swell trains will continue to the be the dominant swell source until next week when a much more S’ly located high brings an onshore flow to most of the Eastern Seaboard. A trough of low pressure looks to briefly form off the Mid North Coast early next week before moving away quickly.

We'll see large surf developing through tomorrow afternoon, cleanest and easing Friday.
There's nothing that stands out this period with an oversized, stormy swell for early next week.
We'll see a S'ly change and large building S/SW swell tomorrow, easing Friday ahead of one final strong swell Sunday. Winds will persist out of the north-east.
We've got a large swell to end off the week with average winds tomorrow, much better Friday. The weekend and next week will be dominated by east to north-east winds though with one final significant groundswell.
Very wintry looking synoptic chart as we exit Autumn with a large high moving in over the continent with active cold fronts tied to low pressure systems tracking into the Tasman Sea. That pattern will extend through most of the week before a high cell drops into the Tasman Friday, with stronger frontal activity expected over the weekend and into next week
