As we come to the end of another active Autumn we’ve got a typical looking winter synoptic pattern with a dominant high drifting over NSW bringing settled conditions with a very active Southern Ocean storm track spawning a strong cold front which will impact the state on Thurs. The front and an upper low are expected to form a surface low Fri off the Central NSW Coast. Compared to Mon’s notes this low is now expected to be weaker and much faster moving bringing a smaller, faster up and down in S swell. 

The surf will bottom out tomorrow ahead of building surf from Friday, becoming large and significant Sunday/Monday.

Poor surf over the coming days with onshore winds and small surf. A fun swell with improving conditions is due later week, possibly larger Sunday but with onshore winds.

The South Coast will offer the best waves this period with winds from the north-western quadrant and tons of south-west swell.
