We’ve got a complex outlook ahead, with tropical cyclones, long period southerly swells, sub-tropical lows and local troughs contributing swells of varying strength and sizes. Bring it on, eh?
This swell was generated by an impressive polar low that pushed towards New Zealand late Monday and through Tuesday.

Good long-period groundswells through this period, largest over the weekend.
We’ve got a multitude of small swell source inbound (long range E’ly, short range S/SE) but the most dominant swell trains over the coming days will be a series of overlapping southerly swells generated by strong, though poorly aligned frontal activity through the Southern Tasman Sea.
