Models are now firming on a trough of low pressure forming near the North Island early next week and retrograding in a SW direction back towards the Eastern seaboard.
We've got a couple of quality groundswells due through the period with workable though not ideal winds.
The end of the week isn't anything amazing but we should see favourable winds and stronger swells fill in from the weekend.
Tomorrow will become tiny ahead of a new groundswell Friday but with dicey winds. The weekend looks fun ahead of a large W/SW groundswell from a 'bombing' low early next week.
Light winds and a small fun wave tomorrow ahead of some better groundswell later in the week. Winds will be an issue.
As this swell generating pattern breaks down we’ll be left with a weak, troughy pattern coming into the Xmas weekend with no major swell sources on hand, so you’ll need to get your grovel boards ready for Santa.
Plenty of swell this period as winds become a little less favourable though still good for a variety of breaks.
The combination of a Tasman low and strong high moving through the Bight has supplied a stack of S swell to the f/cast region since late last week, with an intensification and N’ward movement of the low upping the size and local winds through today on the MNC, and across the rest of the region through tomorrow. Pressure gradients will now slowly ease as the low starts to dissipate and the strong high weakens as it moves South of Tasmania through tomorrow.

The coming days will be small to tiny ahead of a good new groundswell Friday, but with an onshore breeze.
