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 high pressure centre over waters to the south of SA will move into the Tasman Sea during today. A tropical low pressure system centred over the southeast of the NT extends a trough into the northeast of SA. This low is expected to remain near stationary today, after which it is expected to move southwards on Saturday. The associated trough is then expected to move east northeastwards on Sunday and Monday as a new high pressure system moves in from the west.
