As mentioned in Friday’s notes, a Tropical Cyclone is expected to form north of Fiji around Xmas Day or Boxing Day. Current expectations have it tracking south, finally entering our swell window this Friday or Saturday. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Waves for keen surfers with workable onshore winds and a mix of swells.

The responsible Southern Ocean low is an absolute beast (see below) and despite being located SW of Tasmania as it undergoes primary swell production, will be sufficiently south in latitude to favour a significant swell event. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Very significant low and large swell on the way, though the winds aren't ideal.
