Certainly by Thurs the synoptic chart should look insane with a deep low (970-980hPa) retrograding into the Tasman, positioned inside the North island with plenty of space for severe gale to low end storm force winds to be aimed up at the east coast.
Conditions will be great this week across the South Coast with plenty of fun sized surf, with a small west swell to end the week inside the gulf.
The coming period will be cleanest on the beaches with better swells than what appear expected.
The Sunshine Coast is best positioned for this swell (relative to the fetch alignment) and so will pick up the most size.
It's a bit of a tricky weekend of waves, but the short version is there should be something fun and it’ll be clean on top.
The coming period is a bit hit and miss but the middle of next week should offer a wave.
The weekend looks fun each morning ahead of a good pulse of S/SW groundswell Tuesday.
The weekend doesn't look as favourable as today, though Sunday will offer some great waves still.
Apart from this afternoon and tomorrow on the Mid, the South Coast will be the standout this period.
A good swell is due tomorrow but with tricky winds, better into Sunday with smaller swell pulses and favourable winds for the beaches next week.
