The run of small, clean waves on the Mid Coast will come to an end with incoming fronts and plenty of size for the South Coast.
We’ve got a weak, troughy pattern unfolding now adjacent to the NSW Coast in the near Tasman Sea that will provide plenty of wind changes this week. A low pressure system near the South Island reached maximum strength last night and is now slowly easing, but still looking good on ASCAT (satellite windspeed) passes with S’ly strong winds to gales aimed up the Tasman pipe. That will be our main source of swell this week.
We've got a slower week of swell with decent options, ahead of renewal of stronger swell energy from the weekend and into next week.

We've got plenty of swell due for the weekend and early next week with varying winds.
With the tradewind belt weakening and contracting northwards we’re seeing tiny/flat surf establish in CQ waters.
Those wind are associated with a low passing under the state and expected to stall in the Central/Eastern Tasman.
As mentioned on Wed the weekend’s front forms a low which looks to stall in the central/eastern Tasman Sun/Mon, and possibly linger near the South Island after that. The fetch now, isn’t quite so well aimed back at the East Coast but we’re still on track for a nice pulse of S-S/SE swell.
We've got generally clean conditions for 3/4 of the weekend with some fun swell. Next week is larger but with dicey winds.
