At the same time, the Coral Sea trough will have slid southwards, developing an impressive easterly fetch between the mainland and New Caledonia. This fetch is expected to reach maturity around Monday but will weaken only slowly as it continues south of Byron latitudes into Tuesday and Wednesday.

This change will be associated with a strong cold front that’s expected to enter the lower Tasman Sea on Saturday morning, and it will generate a strong south swell for Northern NSW on Sunday.
