High pressure (1031hPa) is slowly but surely moving into the Tasman in a NE direction pushing a decaying tradewind flow further north and leading to easing surf across CQ after a great run of waves.
High pressure (1031hPa) is slowly but surely moving into the Tasman in a NE direction, developing a N’ly flow extending from temperate NSW down to Bass Strait through today and tomorrow. The N’ly flow will be punctuated tomorrow by a cold front which brings W -SW’ly winds to the region and a small amount of S swell. A stronger frontal system now looks likely to be a bit delayed but stall nicely in the Eastern Tasman early next week and supply some useful E/SE swell.

We've got cleaner conditions and fun sized swells for the coming days and weekend.
The current swell will ease into tomorrow, with some good mid-period SW swell for the weekend but with less than perfect winds.
Improved outlook for next week as the weekends front stalls around a trough line in the central/eastern lower Tasman and forms a compact low, possibly even retrograding NW.
Make the most of this morning's surf, with the coming days looking slower and smaller. There's a decent swell event inbound but winds are tricky.
A slower period of activity with swells mostly in the moderate sized + range.
A persistent tradewind fetch is in the process of resetting with a less favourable wind alignment and easing swells.
The remnants of a low/front near the South Island are lingering near the South Island through the short term with the next frontal system expected late this week. No major swell sources on the radar so lets look at a few bits and pieces on offer this week.
