This weekend and next week (Jun 2 - 8)

We're looking down a great period of swell from all angles, with a deep and slow moving Tasman Low that's currently develop due to generate swell from tomorrow through Wednesday, followed by a NE windswell event later week.

Coming back to the Tasman Low and we've seen an initial fetch of strong S/SE winds projected towards us today, producing a good SE swell for tomorrow that should build to at least 3-4ft through tomorrow with SW tending S/SE breeze.

Of greater importance is the E/NE swell due into Sunday and early next week, with a great fetch of E/NE gales currently being projected towards us.

This projection will see a strong and sizey swell front generated, arriving Sunday morning and kicking wave heights to a solid 4-5ft, if not for the bigger one.

Through tomorrow we'll continue to see a great fetch of E/NE gales off the New Zealand coast, weakening and aiming more north away from us through Sunday.

This should keep moderate to large levels of E/NE swell hitting our coast into the afternoon and Monday in that 5ft range, easing quickly back from 3-4ft Tuesday morning.

Winds on Sunday morning will be great with a W/SW breeze, tending SE into the afternoon, similar Monday with a W'ly tending S/SE breeze with a shallow change.

We'll hopefully see a light morning W'ly Tuesday morning, swinging back onshore through the day.

As the E'ly swell continues to fade Wednesday, a strong high is expected to move into the Tasman Sea as a deep surface trough squeezes it from the west.

We'll see a strengthening fetch of N/NE winds developing through our swell window Wednesday afternoon and Thursday before the trough moves through Friday.

This should generate moderate levels of N/NE windswell but with average winds until the change hits, but more on this Monday.

Have a great weekend!
