A new pulse of groundswell is due mid-week along with favourable winds. Early next week will become oversized and onshore.
The high pressure belt is behaving in typical spring fashion- tracking NE as it enters the Tasman with episodic N’lies. We’ve got a small fetch out of Cook Strait at present from a decaying low pressure system, and small, compact low about to enter the Tasman. Combined with some swell from a tradewind band feeding into a long trough we’ll see concurrent small swells from these sources.
The coming days will be generally small with improving winds for the South Coast and a new swell later week.

Troughy weather will bring tricky and varying winds with small surf over the coming days, better later week.
We’ve got a couple of small swells expected to impact the region over the weekend but they’re too small in size and west in direction to have a positive impact on the South Arm.
Overall, there’s no major change to the weekend outlook, with easing swell from today expected to merge with two small new swells from distant sources.

Into next week and a series of rolling disturbances across the Central Indian Ocean will provide multiple over-lapping swell trains with moderate sized swells in the 4-6ft range.
High pressure has bought a strong SE surge now establishing a strong ridge up the CQ coast and a developing SE swell. That will see see fun waves develop overnight and hold through the weekend under mod/fresh SE winds.
