This morning's N/NE windswell should of faded through the day under offshore winds and come tomorrow we're looking at tiny to flat leftovers.

Moving into next week, a surface trough is expected to deepen into a weak Tasman Low.

We'll see a fetch of E/SE winds aimed through our eastern swell window on the bottom flank of the low Sunday evening through Monday, slowly tending more E/NE and then away from us into Tuesday.

Some fun E'ly swell will result, filling in Tuesday to 3ft across open beaches, easing off slowly from 2-3ft Wednesday morning, though hanging in at 2ft Thursday.

Also in the mix Tuesday will be some local N/NE windswell from a strengthening fetch of N/NE winds down out coast as a deepening surface trough pushes in from the west, squeezing a high under the Tasman Low.

We're only looking at 2-3ft sets Tuesday morning, fading with a NW change through the afternoon. The morning is looking average with fresh N/NE winds.

We'll see offshore W'ly winds Wednesday through the end of the week with the small E'ly swell.

Longer term we may see another surface trough developing into a low east of us next weekend, but more on this Monday. Have a great weekend!
