The weekend’s deep inland trough responsible for the persistent northerly flow has now pushed into the southern Tasman Sea, formed into a closed low, and is developing a reasonable southerly fetch about its western flank.

A small increase in swell this week with favourable winds, poor weekend and fun into early next week.

A generally poor forecast with onshore winds and no decent swells. A couple of surfable days before it really deteriorates. Potential for Christmas week.

A building E/NE tending NE swell through the weekend, large Sunday with improving winds late. Offshore Monday.
