Weather Situation

A high pressure system over the southeastern Tasman Sea is extending a ridge towards eastern New South Wales maintaining a northeasterly airstream through much of the coast. A cold front and its associated trough are forecast to enter the far south coast later today and cross the rest of the coastal waters through Thursday with strong southerly winds and large powerful southerly swells in its wake. Strong south to southeasterly winds and hazardous surf conditions may remain during the later part of the week through the weekend as a low pressure system develops off the north coast.
