A more compact but even stronger storm is right behind it, reaching peak strength halfway across the lower Tasman before slamming into the South Island. Fresh NW-W winds are then expected over the weekend before another series of fronts traverse the lower Tasman next week.
We’ve still got a massive high pressure system (1037 hPa) moving over inland NSW, slowly weakening as it enters the Tasman Sea through tomorrow and over the weekend. The ridge up along the sub-tropical coast will break down as it does so. A powerful front has passed through the Tasman, creating a pulse of long period S’ly groundswell.

We've got less than ideal winds for the Mid over the coming days and weekend while the South Coast will offer plenty of surf. Early next week looks interesting.
We've got easing surf with a window to the east tomorrow, ahead of a fun sized SW swell for the weekend. Larger W/SW swells are due early-mid next week.
New swell arriving today, largest over the coming days, with the next decent swell due into next week.
We've got a large mix of W/SW and SW swells tomorrow, with fun pulses to follow.
The coming week or so of wind and weather look tricky, with easing size and better conditions due into next week.
We’ve got a monster high pressure (1037 hPa) sitting on the edge of the Bight and moving slowly eastwards, maintaining a firm ridge up most of the Eastern Seaboard. A pair of coastal troughs which were expected to form a large area of low pressure off the Capricorn Coast are weakening and moving northwards through the near term.
Some powerful but zonal frontal activity will cross the far lower Tasman and send some long period S swell up the Tasman Sea pipe, some of which will wrap into NE part of Tasmania.
