1.5 to 2 metres.

1st Swell

Easterly 2.5 to 3 metres.

Partly cloudy.

Caution

Large and powerful surf conditions in the afternoon are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as crossing bars by boat and rock fishing.

Weather Situation

Strong south to southeasterly winds and large powerful waves along the north coast are gradually easing as a low and a trough over the Coral Sea continue to weaken. Meanwhile, winds over the southern and central parts of the coast are turning northerly as a strong high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge across much of the state. Then, a cold front crossing the state mid to late this week will bring a fresh to strong southwesterly wind change in its wake.
