Whilst Thursday and Friday are motoring along with building S’ly swells, the primary Tasman Low - by this time just off the west coast of New Zealand’s South Island - is expected to reintensify, generating gale to storm force S thru’ S/SE winds that will kick up a large swell for Saturday.

There’s essentially two swells on the way - one super direct south swell for Saturday, and a second swell with more S/SE swell for Sunday.
In Monday’s notes I mentioned a potential slingshot through the Tasman Sea that could deliver a slightly better pulse of swell for the outer SE Qld points this weekend. It’s still showing up in the models though has been slightly delayed.
