Weather Situation

A low pressure system lies over the Tasman Sea while a ridge extends across the state, maintaining fresh, gusty southerly winds and large, powerful waves across the coastal waters. Winds and waves are forecast to ease during today as the low tracks further southeast and weakens while the ridge becomes the dominant feature over the coast. Then, another trough is forecast to sweep the coast midweek, bringing a southerly change in its wake.
