In the short run, we’ll see a wintry type of pattern develop with strong SW winds tending S/SW-S  as a low moves east of Tasmania.

A cold front currently pushing into the Tasman spawns a low pressure system, expected to rapidly deepen later today and o/night before becoming slow moving in the south-central Tasman.

Winds will spoil the incoming W/SW swell this week, best in protected spots as it eases.

The coming period is tricky regarding the timing and sizes of incoming swell pulses, but there are a few reliable days.
