The surf will be tiny or onshore on the weekend, with a bit of rare swell again next week but with winds currently unsure.

Gales to strong gales develop later Sun and o/night into Mon as a complex low forms  in the Tasman. Multiple swell generating fetches are expected to form and sling shot around this huge, slow moving low gyre. Thus we can expect an extend period of large surf next week with embedded pulses from the S through S/SE-SE as the week goes on.

A strong frontal system moving in from the west looks a touch better, while winds for next week are touch and go.

Lovely settled conditions at the moment with a broad area of high pressure in the Tasman and a broad but weak tradewind fetch just moving into a better position S and SW of New Caledonia. That will see some small E/NE swell develop through the end of this week into the weekend.
