A dominant (1034hPa) high pressure system is currently moving off the Far South Coast into the Tasman Sea where it very slowly migrates south-eastwards over the weekend. Pressure gradients weaken over temperate NSW with a firm ridge in the sub-tropics holding a S-SE pattern over the weekend.

No real changes to the large S/SW groundswell due next week.

Remnants of a low on the weekend are also sitting near New Zealand with swell generating fetches off the South Island and emerging from Cook Strait into the eastern Tasman. Swells from the  New Zealand fetches keep surf zones active into the end of the week with mostly offshore to light winds into the weekend. 

Friday and Saturday look fun ahead of some likely better, closer-range swell energy next week.
