Strengthening N’ly winds are going to dominate the next few days.

Can’t say I’m terribly enthusiastic about the weekend outlook, though there is potential for a few windows of opportunity.
Strengthening northerly winds are really going to create some problems.
Wave heights are still strong though slowly easing across Southern NSW, so we can expect a similar (though delayed) trend in our neck of the woods. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Sunday’s southerly change will be linked in with a reasonable low, and a series of secondary fronts trailing behind will also provide useful south swell through the first half of next week. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Looks like a tricky weekend ahead with variable conditions ahead of a gusty southerly change on Sunday afternoon that’ll eventually generate a decent south swell for early next week.
A broad infeed of E/NE winds feeding into the Tasman trough and a stationary trade flow south of Fiji will supply small E’ly swells for our region all week.
We’ve got plenty of waves ahead for the weekend, but northerly winds are really going to cause some problems. More in the Forecaster Notes.
For the next few days, we can divide the forecast into two distinct parts: swell and wind.
In any case, large swells will persist into Tuesday (too big for most coasts) so you’l be better off leaving things until we see an easing in the size department and an abatement of wind speeds later this week throughout SE Qld.
