Please be aware
Wind and wave forecasts are averages. Wind gusts can be 40 per cent stronger than the forecast, and stronger still in squalls and thunderstorms. Maximum waves can be twice the forecast height.
A low pressure system lies just to the northeast of Perth and will contract eastwards across the south of the State during Tuesday, leading to strong to gale force southeasterly winds across southern waters. As the low moves east it will weaken, and on Wednesday will extend a trough through Eucla waters. A ridge of high pressure will slowly develop well to the south of the State in the wake of the low, with a high pressure centre crossing south of the Capes during Thursday evening.
