A 996 hPa low just off the coast and a 1034 hPa high in the Bight is creating a very tight pressure gradient with subsequent severe gales and an L-XL S swell event. The primary focus of this swell is temperate NSW inside the Hunter curve, with other areas seeing much less swell.

Todays late pulse should finally fill in and supply a few 4ft sets tomorrow between the Capes with tiny 1-2ft surf in Mandurah, 1ft in Perth. Winds remain predominantly E’ly with high pressure ridging in under the state and an inland trough.
No change to the f/cast. Small background energy from the South Pacific holds fun surf next week with a small pulse on the weekend.
Sunday looks more dynamic as a low forms to the NE of the state and a S’ly fetch extending to the south of the Island generate new S swell.
By Sunday we’ll see a deepening angled trough in the Tasman Sea with a low expected to form in the trough NE of Tasmania off the Gippsland Coast.
It's a real shame too as there's a decent groundswell inbound
We've got four, maybe five days of onshore winds ahead.
