A much stronger change on Sat looks to form a low in the Central/Northern Tasman with a more substantial swell increase also being generated by a deep polar low transiting the Tasman.
Slow over the coming days ahead of increasing swell activity into the weekend and early next week.
Not a great deal of action on the charts to start the last week of Winter. A strong high (1040hPa) is on the other side of New Zealand but pressure gradients in the Tasman are weak, with minimal swell energy being generated from that source. Later in the week, Tradewinds do poke their head up over New Zealand and generate some useful E swell.
There's plenty of quality surf to be had over the coming week with a couple of good swells and favourable winds.

N’ly winds are freshening ahead of a trough which is drawing down more moisture from the Indian Ocean and brings a S’ly change mid-week and a small pulse in S swell.
We've got a strong, building W/SW groundswell as NW winds favour the South Coast. An onshore change is due tomorrow, cleaner from Wednesday.
We've got a delay in the change in winds due this afternoon, shifted to midday tomorrow. There are plenty of surfing options for the coming week.
Strong trades through the central and northern Coral Sea over the weekend will gradually extend south by late Sunday, nosing just far enough into SE Qld’s eastern swell window to allow for a minor increase in short range E/NE energy.
Bit of a slow weekend ahead, with easing southerly swells for Saturday becoming very small into Sunday.
A weak N/NE windswell will stop the coast going flat but next weekend looks more promising for surf.
