We’re still expecting gale force NW winds to develop Sat, with a chance for N’ly windswell wrap into the NE of the Island.
We’re still on track for basically offshore winds all weekend as high pressure to the north and a series of fronts to the south bring the W’ly belt across the Southern half of the maritime continent up intp the sub-tropics.

Flag tomorrow and focus on the surf and swells from Sunday. There's lots of activity to come for the coming week and a bit.
The whole archipelago is experiencing large surf with more to come.
Still looking promising from mid next week as high pressure moves into the Tasman at a N'ly latitude and a SE surge builds up the QLD Coast.
Sunday sees a strong front push through into the Tasman and a fetch of strong winds below the state should generate a fresh round of S swell to 2-3ft at S exposed breaks under strong W-W/SW winds.
Make the most of the coming days as the longer term outlook is slow.
Unfortunately the outlook for the South West of the state is poor with persistent fronts, large swell pulses but no offshore windows.
Residual S/SE groundswell pulses from the off axis fetch as it drifted slowly SE of the South Island will put a floor under wave heights before we see a fresh round of S swell early next week. Good news for some areas south of the border, with a much less exciting but seasonally expected outlook for SEQLD.
