Probably the trickiest part of this week’s forecast - at least for the next few days - are the local winds. More in the Forecaster Notes.

We’ve got a couple of south swells in store for the weekend, generated by transient fronts through the lower Tasman Sea. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Today’s new SE swell originated from a fetch that developed west from Cook Strait on Monday. More in the Forecaster Notes.
We’ve got another couple of days of windy conditions ahead, with stacks of southerly swell too. More in the Forecaster Notes.
We’ve got an imminent W’ly change on the cards, due to reach our coast in the early hours of Saturday morning. The timing on this change is crucial for Saturday morning’s surf prospects, because it will concurrently shut off the current generation of local N’ly windswell. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Thursday is looking pretty good, though you’ll have to make it early, as we’re expecting surf size to ease throughout the day. More in the Forecaster Notes.
This fetch is aimed mainly towards the Mid North Coast and Hunter region, so we’ll see smaller surf as you head north into Far Northern NSW and SE Qld. More in the Forecaster Notes.
There’s been a little more shuffling around with two low pressure troughs - one current in place across the Mid North Coast and another developing way out in the northern Tasman Sea. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Unfortunately, there's been a downgrade for the weekend's surf potential, with the inbound E'ly swell being delayed until early next week. More in the Forecaster Notes.
A broad coastal trough will ebb and flow throughout much of the East Coast all week. This creates some uncertainty in the surf forecast because it’ll have a direct impact on local winds, which could - on some days - be from any direction. More in the Forecaster Notes.
