It’s not a good weekend ahead. But there are some interesting options, mainly for Northern NSW.

We have to be careful not to look at the model guidance in isolation, because it’s combining swell trains. More in the Forecaster Notes.

The latest model guidance has slowed TC Pola down a little, which has increased its size potential - though delayed its arrival until very late Sunday or early Monday.

Ex-TC Oma is moving to the north, but in its wake we’re seeing a broad, stationary ridge strengthen across the Northern NSW, which will maintain a steady supply of useful trade swell all week.

To be honest, SE Qld and Far Northern NSW coasts simply aren’t conditioned for swell events of this magnitude. More in the Forecaster Notes.

On Sunday evening, the world’s leading atmospheric model (ECMWF) bucked the trend: keeping TC Oma off the SE Qld coast for a few days and then actually tracking it north, ahead of a coastal crossing mid-next week.

It’s hard to stay focused on the short term when there’s a major cyclone event looking for the Coral Sea. So try not to get distracted by the synoptics for the next few days.
