A long tradewind fetch anchored by a 1024hPa high in the central SW Pacific is slowly retreating eastwards with a weak high cell expected to migrate into the Tasman overnight and tomorrow in the wake of a shallow trough now moving up the NSW Coast and expected to stall and wash out around the lower reaches of the MNC.

Nothing major but we should see rideable surf on the weekend

Some decaying and fast moving frontal activity in the lower Tasman is currently scooting across that sea. Once the new high sets up shop in the Tasman we’ll see the N-NE flow which has been a constant for a month reset until another S’ly change arrives on the weekend. No major swells ahead as the pattern of weak, mobile high pressure continues but there’ll be some windows of opportunity with small NE windswell and minor flushes of S swell.

Easing swells becoming tiny mid week

High pressure is moving eastwards, dragging the trade fetch with it. Weak high pressure moves into the Tasman later this week. No major swells this week, so we’ll be relying on our persistent trade-swell, which looks to ease back to tiny/flat mid-week as the fetch retreats eastwards.
