Late afternoon is on target for a sneaky long range/long period pulse of southerly groundswell, sourced from a tight but intense polar low skirting the ice shelf this weekend.
We've got good conditions and strong swells on the way with what looks to be one of the better runs of more reliable swell and conditions.
A fast moving trough will bring an earlier onshore change and poor surf for the weekend, better next week with a mix of swells on the cards.
A deepening mid-latitude low due through the weekend has been fast tracked and weakened.
Increased swell activity from the Southern Ocean next week.
Tiny waves ahead of an onshore, S/SE swell early next week.
There’s just enough strength in the Coral Sea trade fetch to supply some small/tiny waves on low tides into the weekend.
The outlook is quite exciting with fun waves over the coming days and more potential next week.
By Sun morning we should see a low NW of Tas with a secondary system further away in the Tasman towards the South Island.
We've got another strong mid-latitude low due on the weekend generating some large S/SW swell energy.
