Finding a clean wave with size and quality will be tricky this period. There is a window early-mid next week though.

There'll be a couple of small windows for the keen on both coasts over the coming days but the swells will be weak. Next week sees a bit of size developing, though protected spots will fair best.
That leads to a couple of days of small, weak surf before the low shifts East of Tasmania on Thursday.
There's a good swell due tomorrow but you'll have to work the winds. The rest of the week looks poor with mostly average conditions. There's more action next week.
A blocking setup will keep the state very quiet over the coming period but with favourable morning winds.
Pressure gradients are weak across our main swell windows and through the region as an interior trough drifts NE and a weak, troughy area extends out into the Tasman sea, without creating much of a squeeze on a weak high pressure centre over New Zealand.

The outlook for the state is fairly poor following tomorrow so get a surf in with a new swell and favourable winds.
There's a good pulse of swell due tomorrow, better than the models and forecast make it look, but following that conditions will be poor until next week.
With reinforcing high pressure now in the Tasman Sea, we’re on track for another round of NE windswell through Sat, as the pressure gradient gets tightened by an approaching trough complex and winds freshen in the East Tasmanian swell window.
