The weekend will be good for beginners tomorrow morning with better swells and windows for a surf through next week.

Weak high pressure is rapidly moving SE into the Tasman in the wake of yesterdays trough, which has stalled just north of the Hunter coast. E’ly fetches are still bubbling away near the North Island with more small E quadrant swell expected over the short/medium term.

Winds will be variable tomorrow morning but with small surf, much more active into next week with workable winds that will favour the Mid Coast early week.

The synoptic pattern over and surrounding Australia still has a strong La Niña signature with troughy low pressure areas in the Tasman Sea and an active monsoon trough across Northern Australia. High pressure on the other side of New Zealand is cradling areas of low pressure aimed at NSW and SEQLD with the Coral Sea adjacent to the CQ swell window offering up very weak pressure gradients and swell generating winds.
