Would you attribute these winds to the low in the Tasman sea and the High Pressure system in the Great Aussie Bight?

(Sorry, newbie question and still leaning... Is it the air moving from the High to the Low, that causes the winds?)


Yep the pressure gradient squeeze between the high and the low is causing the winds (which have been temporarily restrengthened today by the increased pressure gradient).

The surface winds spiral out of highs and spiral into lows rather than flow in a straight path from highs to lows because of the Coriolis effect caused by the earth’s rotation.
