The dropping size will be a little slower than normal because a modest secondary fetch is develop around the (decaying) Tasman Low

We’ve got some incredible waves ahead.
Troughs, fronts and a brand new Tasman Low will generate swells from the NE, S and SE over the forecast period.
During the afternoon, the first in a series of pulses of SE swell will begin to make landfall, originating from a slightly unusual source.
Swells from almost every direction over the next week and a half, most of them very good too - and with good conditions.
We’ve got a complex series of large south swells for the first half of next week. They’ll originate from a deep Tasman Low that’s expected to display several embedded low/fronts wrapping around its western flank, all of which will be working on a large pre-existing sea state.
A vigorous stream of fronts are crossing the SE corner of the country, and they'll be the source of persistent south swells throughout the next few days.
We’re back to an extended southerly swell regime across Southern NSW.
Looks like a tricky Saturday of waves.
However, we have a slightly better swell source for the same period, and with the direction holding from the E/NE it’ll provide a more uniform size distribution across the region.
