Under current modelling this should be an extended event as the N'ly fetch persists and actually increases later next week.
The deep Tasman low near the North Island has now dissipated and left the building with a small low in the Central/Southern Tasman supplying small S swells and an even smaller trough of low pressure off the Far North Coast directing SE winds onto the coast. This pattern remains slow moving as large high slowly approaches from South of the Bight and multiple inland troughs supply unstable weather.
Following yesterday's strong swell the outlook is much smaller and weaker along with average winds.

The swell will become smaller into the end of the week though with lingering S/SW winds. Next week looks better for a surf to the east.
There's not much to talk about over the coming fortnight unfortunately as small, background swells persist.
As the strong high moves E of Tasmania on Sun we'll see tradewinds start to build across the Coral Sea.
A strong swell is due tomorrow with onshore winds, easing with better conditions and some reinforcing swell later week.
Into next week and more marginal swells not offering much in the way of size. It’ll likely be ankle snappers for at least the first half of next week.
The Tasman low of sub-tropical origins which has sprayed the East Coast with swell is now just north of the North Island, with some swell generating winds still active to the west of the North Island, although quite limited in length. It’s deepened and is hammering the North Island sending another pulse of E/SE swell our way.
