There’s a lot of interesting features on the long term charts, some of which are quite plausible, and some of which are much less certain and require a variety of circumstances to eventuate. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Despite the expected longer period E/NE groundswell from TC Pola not yet showing, I still think we’re going to see some new energy later today and into Tuesday morning. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Of course, TC Oma is the only weather system on the synoptics of interest to us. But, it's not the primary swell source for Southern NSW this forecast period. More in the Forecaster Notes.
