It will be worth scheduling in a late session at any one of the beaches, as there’ll be a peaky mix of building N’ly windswell and easing S/SE swell. More in the Forecaster Notes.

Today’s fresh offshore winds are associated with a deepening Tasman Low that’s expected to meander slowly through the western Tasman Sea for the next few days, and will deliver an extended period of short range south swell to our coast, mainly favouring Northern NSW.
The N’ly windswell doesn’t interest me quite as much as the incoming SE swell. More in the Forecaster Notes.
A strong front pushing through the lower SE corner of the Tasman Sea yesterday has reinvigorated the remnants of a small low responsible for an underlying SE swell over the weekend, and this is strengthening a S’ly tending S/SE fetch off the west coast of New Zealand's South Island.
We’ve got a fun weekend of east swell ahead, and there's plenty of exciting synoptics ahead for the rest of the period too.
We’ve had an improvement in the outlook for the next few days.
We’ve got building swells on the cards for the rest of the week, thanks to a slow moving Tasman high. The main issue we have this week are local winds.
A deepening trough to our north-east is expected to spawn a possible tropical cyclone by mid-week (between Vanuatu and Fiji).
Two southerly changes are pushing up the NSW Coast. And it looks like we’ve got an extended period of E'ly swell on the cards as a blocking pattern sets up camp. More in the Forecaster Notes.
Strengthening N’ly winds are going to dominate the next few days.
