It’s quite unusual to see this kind of stalling pattern in this region too, and the end result will be a lengthy run of strong long period groundswell from the S and S/SE. More in the Forecaster Notes.
The parent polar low to the upcoming frontal sequence will stall south of New Zealand over the weekend, evolving into one of the biggest, most impressive weather systems seen in this region in a very long time. More in the Forecaster Notes.
A great period of surf out of the south to south-east and with favourable winds.
The weekend looks poor but next week will be much better and with a strong additional S/SE groundswell.

A better looking period ahead with swells from the south-eastern quadrant.
