We have a strong (1033hPa) high in the Tasman, with a deep E’ly flow through the Coral Sea feeding into a coastal trough along the QLD coast. That trough is drawing down plenty of tropical moisture in the deep onshore flow, and generating sizey, stormy E’ly swells for the sub-tropics. 

There's nothing to recommend this week with a funky S/SE swell this weekend.

The coming period will be again mostly about picking the windows of lighter winds and cleaner conditions.

That trough is drawing down plenty of tropical moisture in the deep onshore flow, and generating sizey, stormy E’ly swells for the sub-tropics. Some of that swell energy will filter down to temperate NSW in reduced form but without all the bad weather, along with more local NE swells.
