We've got an average period with poor conditions at the peak of the coming weak swells, small when winds go back offshore.
Small bump in swell for the weekend, then slow again but with weak to non-existent trades in areas.
The synoptic set-up looks quite unseasonal at the moment with a 1031 hPa high drifting over NSW and a 1007 hPa low slow moving in the Tasman west of the North Island. The SE surge from this high has generated some small, scrappy surf. Get in quickly for this swell, we’ll see some more small surf tomorrow then easing swells for Fri and back to flat for the weekend.
Nothing much of interest in the short run. A deep polar low sends some small long period S swell wrap to the Coast tomorrow.
Make the most of the coming mornings of surf as this weekend and next week look tricky with onshore winds and funky swells.
The synoptic set-up looks quite unseasonal at the moment with a 1031 hPa high drifting over NSW and a 1007 hPa low slow moving in the Tasman west of the North Island. Current ASCAT (satellite windspeed) passes show broad fetch of mostly strong S-S/SE winds with some embedded low end gales reasonably well aimed for East coast swell production.
The coming period remains so/so, but we might see a larger swell developing for late next week.

A good swell with favourable winds tomorrow are worth making the most of before mid-latitude lows and low quality swells make up the rest of the period.
The next two days will provide the best surf for the period, with stormy, localised swells due into the weekend and next week.
