We’ve got a classic winter-style pattern happening at the moment with high riding high pressure, an active Southern Ocean storm track and pumping surf for Vicco, small surf wrapping into NSW and a flat spell for QLD. This winter pattern continues for most of next week but there is a little ray of hope on the horizon, ironically as we head into the first week of winter.

As we come to the end of  Autumn we’ve got a typical looking winter synoptic pattern unfolding with a dominant high drifting over NSW bringing settled conditions with a very active Southern Ocean storm track spawning a strong cold front which will impact the state on Thurs. Most of the swell generating winds are better placed for Victoria with only small S swell wrap for NETas.

As we come to the end of another (very!) active Autumn we’ve got a typical looking winter synoptic pattern unfolding with a dominant high drifting over NSW bringing settled conditions with a very active Southern Ocean storm track spawning a strong cold front which will impact the state on Fri. The front and an upper low are expected to form a surface low Fri off the Central NSW Coast. Compared to Mon’s notes this low is now expected to be weaker and much faster moving bringing a smaller, faster up and down in S swell. 

The coming days don't look great, but from the weekend we've got much stronger swells inbound with good winds for the South Coast.
