By Wed we should see another building trend as another trough deepens in Southern NSW/Gippsland and a strong infeed into the trough builds E/NE swells.

There'll be a window of OK conditions in protected spots tomorrow morning, then poor until later next week.

Not a great deal of action likely this weekend. High pressure is straddling Tasmania with the remnants of a front lingering near New Zealand with an off-axis fetch. A coastal trough and an inland trough maintain unstable conditions with a developing N-NE flow over the weekend.

Indonesia remains small, while the Maldives will provide a good swell early next week.
