You can essentially forget almost the entire weekend. Why? Gusty northerly winds. But, next week has options. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Today’s new SE swell throughout Southern NSW saw solid, well defined sets in the 3ft range, which bodes well for Northern NSW tomorrow. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Model guidance maintains the northerly flow across much of SE Qld through the early morning. At first glance, this would appear to be a negative, but it’s actually a positive. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Saturday looks OK on the surface in a few regions with light variable winds, but we’ll see northerlies elsewhere. Not that it matters much anyway, as there won’t be much surf around. There is however a swell for next week. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Friday’s northerly flow on the Mid North Coast will be the first in four consecutive days of poor, cross-shore conditions. But next week is worth keeping an eye on. More in the Forecaster Notes.
A broad trough moving northwards will stifle the synoptic flow in the early hours of the morning, preceding a gusty S’ly change, reaching the Lower Mid North Coast around dawn, the Northern River mid-late morning and then the Gold Coast early-mid afternoon. More in the Forecaster Notes.
The only notable feature for next week is a building ridge across the coast from late Tuesday thru’ Wednesday that’ll freshen S/SE winds across the region. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Strengthening northerly winds will deteriorate surf conditions over the coming days. But there's a few windows for the weekend. More in the Forecaster Notes.
You’ll have to make the most of the next few days as northerlies are expected on Thursday and Friday. More in the Forecaster Notes.
