East Coast Low or Tasman Low? It currently looks like it’ll be the latter, but either way we’ve got a lot of swell and wind for early next week. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Although the last few days have underperformed out of the south, I’m not looking to downgrade the outlook for the next few days much at all. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Incredibly, the low in the Tasman Sea is still active right now and will still be generating swell for Southern NSW throughout Saturday and into Sunday morning. With an approx 1.5-2 day lag time across the basin, this means we’ll see easterly swell through the first half of next week. More in the Forecaster Notes.
