Sunday sees a strong front push through into the Tasman and a fetch of strong winds below the state should generate a fresh round of S swell to 2-3ft at S exposed breaks under strong W-W/SW winds.
Make the most of the coming days as the longer term outlook is slow.
Unfortunately the outlook for the South West of the state is poor with persistent fronts, large swell pulses but no offshore windows.
Residual S/SE groundswell pulses from the off axis fetch as it drifted slowly SE of the South Island will put a floor under wave heights before we see a fresh round of S swell early next week. Good news for some areas south of the border, with a much less exciting but seasonally expected outlook for SEQLD.
The South Coast will be the pick of the period with the cleanest conditions in this windy, frontal period.
A more typical winter pattern which we saw in June is set to return, with high pressure over the continent ridging against frontal activity with a W’ly flow extending right up to the sub-tropics. Residual S/SE groundswell pulses from the off axis fetch as it drifted slowly SE of the South Island will put a floor under wave heights before we see a fresh round of S swell early next week.
We've got an inconsistent, westerly swell due tomorrow followed by a downgrade in the weekend's swell.
Upgrade! Indonesia will see a significant, long-period S'ly groundswell to end off the week.
Inconsistent but fun pulses of S/SE swell with favourable winds.
We've got a good week of waves with light winds and pulses of south-southeast swell.
