View the current warnings for New South Wales

Forecast issued at 4:10 am EST on Sunday 2 April 2023.

Weather Situation

Moderate south to southeasterly winds associated with a trough moving along the central waters will ease and turn more easterly as a high pressure system near the Bight extends a ridge across New South Wales. The trough may linger over the northern waters for the next few days, while the high slowly moves east to the Tasman Sea, causing winds to tend easterly then northerly across central and southern parts.
