Charts have looked great all week with a low pressure system drifting in from the Coral Sea inside the North Island but the bad news is the low is now expected to track down the outside of the North Island with a major downgrade in swell potential.
We’re in the middle of a winter-style pattern more common in August than November with a small low formed in along a front/trough line off the Gippsland Coast accelerating W’ly winds across most of the Eastern seaboard and Tasmania. A series of deeper fronts and lows are also transiting the lower Tasman as part of this cold outbreak.
There's a ton of swell inbound and conditions will be beast in the few hours in and around dawn.
While they are not ideally positioned for maximal S swell production up the East Coast we are still looking at some useful S swell pulses over the rest of the week and into the weekend. Following that we are back to a typical summer pattern with plenty of fun E swell expected next week.
A fun new swell with offshore winds is due tomorrow, poor Friday but then improving on the weekend with a new swell for Saturday morning.

Plenty of swell with favourable conditions developing from Friday around Victor Harbor, while the Mid Coast will fade and become tiny.
We've got a slight upgrade in the expected size over the coming periods and winds look generally favourable with options all over.
All the action is in the Southern states right now, with a deep dual-centred low pressure gyre backed up by a strong high moving in from the Indian Ocean generating a powerful fetch which is just behind Tasmania with respect to the S swell window.
There's no lack of swell inbound, with good windows for the savvy to work around wind wise.
