Gusty S/SE winds will dominate the rest of the week, though it’ll actually originate from a second change currently pushing into Southern NSW (this afternoon’s change was associated with a local trough).

First up: swell. There won’t be any shortage of it this week, thanks to a broad ridge north of New Zealand. More in the Forecaster Notes.

We’ve got building E’ly swells for SE Qld and Far Northern NSW, originating primarily from a broad, complex series of surface troughs across the lower Coral Sea. More in the Forecaster Notes.

A reasonable ridge is building through the lower Coral Sea, and will extend out across the Northern Tasman Sea over the coming days. This will be a useful source of E’ly swell for most coasts. More in the Forecaster Notes.

If I were basing the outlook on model guidance alone, it'd be easy to assume that the peak of the swell had passed today and size would therefore ease steadily from tonight onwards. More in the Forecaster Notes.
