We should see some better quality, albeit small E/NE swell later next week from a new sub-tropical low which forms this weekend and then drifts out towards the North Island.

No great change to the f/cast for the week. The slowly retreating fetch is continuing to send strong E swells with just slow easing trend in play.

The coming period isn't great at all with smaller swells and average winds.

The wind outlook for the coming days has improved with back to back, solid swells. Winds will improve for the beaches but the size will stay elevated on the weekend.
