Plan other activities other than surfing.

High pressure has drifted up over NENSW and  into the Tasman and an approaching trough and cut-off low really ramps up the pressure gradient short term, leading to fresh/strong N/NE-N’ly winds off the coast.

Low pressure formation looks likely, possibly a strong cut-off low moving into the Tasman Thurs and offering an initial spike in S swell Thurs before better angled S/SE swell into the weekend if the low hangs around in the south-east Tasman near the South Island. 

Today and tomorrow are the pick of the period for the exposed beaches with nothing really of note for the Surf Coast.
