The broad, complex Tasman low which generated large S swells is now positioned on the other side of New Zealand with a lingering fetch of SSE-SE winds under the South Island. A much smaller, cut-off low NW  of Tasmania is linked via a trough line to TC Ilsa  off the Kimberly Coast and is expected to drift into the Tasman Sea tomorrow bringing a fresh S’ly flow to round off the week. A dynamic trough blocking pattern is then expected to unfold in the medium term.

The good news is that we're expecting light variable winds under a weak pressure gradient. The even better news is that there's a stack of more swell on the way.

We've got a lot to deal with this period with plenty of energy out of the south-east followed by east next week.

A generally poor outlook with increasing onshore winds and oversized, building swells later week.
