A slow improvement in conditions over the coming days but there'll be options a plenty. Good swells and favourable winds longer term.

Over the weekend, a deep trough is expected to form south of Fiji, and a supporting ridge to the south will enhance a broad easterly fetch through the north-eastern Tasman Sea, stretching out into the Coral Sea. More in the Forecaster Notes. 

Options for a small wave on the weekend, though winds are dicey Sunday. A better looking swell is shaping up for next week.

Varying winds this weekend with a wet, eastward moving surface trough, mixed with pulses of westerly swell.
