No change to the weekend f/cast. As high pressure drifts across the Tasman we get a rapid intensification of NE winds in the swell window leading to a building trend in NE windswell through Sat up to 3ft through the a’noon.
The weekend will be good for beginners tomorrow morning with better swells and windows for a surf through next week.
A weak swell will build tomorrow with improving winds, average as it eases Sunday. Next week will provide more options for fun waves.
Weak high pressure is rapidly moving SE into the Tasman in the wake of yesterdays trough, which has stalled just north of the Hunter coast. E’ly fetches are still bubbling away near the North Island with more small E quadrant swell expected over the short/medium term.

E’ly fetches are still bubbling away near the North Island with more small E quadrant swell expected over the short/medium term. A long range, rare SSE-SE groundswell is just starting to show on Tasmanian buoys.
Winds will be variable tomorrow morning but with small surf, much more active into next week with workable winds that will favour the Mid Coast early week.
Fading surf on the weekend with clean conditions across the exposed beaches tomorrow. Next week is very active but winds aren't great.
The synoptic pattern over and surrounding Australia still has a strong La Niña signature with troughy low pressure areas in the Tasman Sea and an active monsoon trough across Northern Australia. High pressure on the other side of New Zealand is cradling areas of low pressure aimed at NSW and SEQLD with the Coral Sea adjacent to the CQ swell window offering up very weak pressure gradients and swell generating winds.
There's plenty of swell on the way with workable winds, best each morning.
Clean conditions but smaller surf tomorrow, poor Friday with a window Saturday morning. Better surf is due into early next week.
