Around 1 metre.

1st Swell

Southeasterly 2 to 2.5 metres.

Clear.

Caution

Large and powerful surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as crossing bars by boat and rock fishing, particularly for south to southeast facing beaches.

Weather Situation

Winds and waves are easing today as a low over the Tasman Sea tracks further southeast and weakens while a ridge lies over the coast. The ridge will give way to a trough sweeping the coast midweek, that will bring a southerly change in its wake. Winds will turn east to northeasterly later in the week as another ridge builds over the coastal waters. Then, a series of cold fronts will enter the state on the weekend, bringing another southerly change.
