No great changes to the weekend f/cast. High pressure is now moving SE towards the tip of the South Island, maintaining a SE-ESE trade flow in the Coral Sea. Tradewinds are being enhanced by an active monsoon trough extending from the Arafura Sea into the Coral Sea.
Troughy weather will bring dicey winds for the period, spoiling a good new swell for Monday.
No great change to the weekend f/cast. High pressure is now drifting SE towards the South Island with an approaching trough tightening the pressure gradient and leading to fresh N’ly winds for Eastern Tasmania .
Good winds with fun swells over the coming days before things go quiet.
Models are now firming on a large tropical depression (possibly a TC) drifting southwards into the slot between New Caledonia and the North Island from mid next week. A broad, slow moving area of E’ly low end gales is likely on the southern flank of this system, initially favouring the sub-tropics, but radiating down to temperate NSW through next weekend.
There's not much to work with this period unfortunately. There's a bit of swell inbound but with average winds.

Clean surfing windows will be limited this period so try and pick the best out of it.
Strong high pressure (1035 hPa) is now moving SE of Tasmania with an embedded trough along the advancing ridge ramping up wind speeds from the SSE-SE into the 20kts+ range. Conditions should settle as the high moves into the Tasman and weakens and the ridge relaxes through the end of the week. The high is augmenting an existing SE-ESE tradewind fetch through the Northern Tasman and Coral Seas and maintaining small E-SE swell.
Monday looks even juicier. An approaching trough of low pressure tightens pressure gradients and the fetch really winds up in the swell window.
