Forecast issued at 4:10 am EST on Sunday 25 June 2017.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system southwest of Australia is moving slowly east, strengthening a ridge to the northern Tasman Sea, which in turn is directing west to southwesterly winds along the New South Wales coast. A front passing to the south will strengthen the winds somewhat over the southern half of the coast during today and Monday, before winds turn south to southeasterly and ease under the influence of the ridge.
