This slow moving fetch will maintain elevated E/NE’ly swells for the majority of this week with embedded pulses and only a very slow easing trend through the week.

We've got improving conditions and more large surf on the way with the waves expected to become great from Wednesday.

Current ASCAT (satellite wind speed) pass shows a low in the Northern Tasman with SE gales proximate to the NSW Coast and a long, broad fetch of E’ly gales extending from the Tasman out to a position north of the North Island.

A strong increase in groundswell due later week will be met by onshore winds, improving slowly on the weekend while easing in size.
