Our long run of E/NE swell - which kicked off last weekend - will slowly fade over the next few days, however the main feature on the forecast this week is an intense polar low that developed well SW of New Zealand over the weekend. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Predominantly onshore winds are expected for the rest of the week, which will keep surface conditions a little below par. This is a shame as we’ve still got plenty of swell on the way. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Normally, large swell events identified a long time away usually downgrade over time. Fortunately, this event for next week has maintained its strength, in fact we’ve seen small upgrades from forecast to forecast, which is very encouraging. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Looks like a windy couple of days ahead, thanks to a strong ridge of high pressure over the eastern states, maintaining a fresh southerly airstream throughout much of the NSW coast. More in the Forecaster Notes.
