We’re now on the backside of this incredible easterly swell event, so expect size to abate slowly through the weekend.

That will be offset by a developing fetch of gales off the North Island, which will supply reinforcing energy from the E-E/NE Fri over the weekend.

Upgrade for the weekend f/cast but next week is looking much juicier as a complex low in the Tasman aims up more directly at Tasmania.

Following that we’ve got a spring like week ahead with fresh/strong NW winds and only some minor NE windswell wrap to offer up some rideable waves.

The low next to Tasmania and proximate fetch will generate a strong spike in S swell tomorrow before it quickly moves away with following fronts now looking less aligned for S swell production.

We have a deep low (985hPa) adjacent to Tasmania and another attached low centre further E in the Tasman with the long E’ly infeed into this complex low gyre focussed near the west coast of the North Island aimed up at Tasmania.

The circulation in the trough line has increased wind speeds in the fetch as the air mass moves from high to low pressure. As a result we’ll see an increase in wave heights and period through tomorrow. The return flow from the deepening low as it tracks southwards towards Tasmania in the trough line will see mod/fresh S/SW winds set in after an early W-W/NW.
