We have a deep low (985hPa) adjacent to Tasmania and another attached low centre further E in the Tasman with the long E/NE infeed into this complex low gyre focussed near the west coast of the North Island and slowly sliding out of the swell window.

Besides tomorrow morning the outlook is poor for the coming period.
The trough block scenario is reaching maximum strength but moving southwards as it does so. We’ll see a slight kick in size tomorrow for CQ then waves steadily easing over the rest of the weekend, going back to tiny and then flat next week as a cold outbreak brings W’ly Simonds to the Coral Sea.
The circulation in the trough line has increased wind speeds in the fetch as the air mass moves from high to low pressure. As a result we’ll see an increase in wave heights and period through tomorrow. The return flow from the deepening low as it tracks southwards towards Tasmania in the trough line will see mod/fresh S/SW winds set in after an early W-W/NW.

Make the most of the current swell as next week looks generally poor.
Both regions should be good to great tomorrow (bumpy on the Mid Coast) with a strong new swell.
The final wind outlook for the weekend is in, while most of next week is a write-off.
