While all of this is going on, a weak tropical low near Fiji this weekend will have travelled south, before developing into an impressive multi-centred low pressure system off the West Coast of New Zealand’s North Island by Monday.
Main synoptic feature for this weekend is a S’ly change that’ll cross the South Coast before dawn. Oh, and there's a big swell for the end of next week.
Get stuck into the current mix of swells before they fade as it'll be slow until some new swell builds mid-late next week.
The outlook isn't great but there'll be small swells through next week with workable winds.
A fun swell and generally clean conditions each morning on the weekend. Larger next week but winds won't be as favourable.
Not the best weekend, onshore down South and on the small side across the Mid Coast. Better surf potential through next week across the South Coast with fun swells and favourable morning winds.
After a poor weekend, a favourable week of surf to follow with fun sized swells and winds from the eastern quadrant.
Some modeling suggests this low will merge with the aforementioned broad troughy feature across the western Tasman Sea, forming a large, multi-centered low pressure system across the greater Tasman through the middle of next week.
A small tropical depression near Fiji later this week is modeled to move southwards on Friday, before slowly setting up camp north of New Zealand over the weekend and evolving to a fully fledged subtropical low by Monday.
A mix of fun swells Friday, fading into the weekend ahead of interesting developments next week.
