The synoptics are dominated by a complex pattern of low pressure troughs from the Tasman Sea all the way across the eastern states and out into South Australia. This is expected to produce a dynamic period of weather for NSW, though not a lot of swell. Next week though... get ready! More in the Forecaster Notes.

Unfortunately, a quiet synoptic chart across the Tasman Sea this week means we’re looking at a continuation of small swells. Fortunately, the long term outlook has a lot more potential. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Model guidance actually suggest tomorrow will be bigger than today. But, I just can’t see Thursday bombing any higher. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Over the weekend, a deep trough is expected to form south of Fiji, and a supporting ridge to the south will enhance a broad easterly fetch through the north-eastern Tasman Sea, stretching out into the Coral Sea. More in the Forecaster Notes.
