Sub-tropical troughs and the remnants of TC Gina near New Caledonia are maintaining a deep E’ly flow through the Coral Sea while the last in a series of powerful cold fronts are now sweeping up past the South Island of New Zealand with small S to SSE swell pulses to come over the next couple of days from this source.

Nothing to recommend this week with cold, windy surf into next week.
A small week ahead of some new, fun swell on the weekend. Windy and cold next week.
A strong polar low will develop below the state later this weekend and reach peak intensity on the eastern periphery of our swell window - i.e. below the Tasman Sea - early next week.
A large blocking high across our immediate swell window will impact our surf outlook in two ways for the first half of next week - it'll maintain low swell heights (by defecting storm activity away from our region) and it'll also keep conditions nice and clean with NE winds.
Into next week and we’re in for a couple of wild and wooly days as the front smashes into the state Mon, bringing wild weather and large storm surf mixed with long period groundswell.
No major changes to the weekend outlook, but a few slight tweaks.
High pressure remains west of Tasmania during Sat with weak SW winds on offer as fronts well to the south pass through the Southern Ocean.
Through the weekend, short range ESE swell from the tradewind fetch will supply the dominant swell trains, especially in CQLD.
