A few small/tiny days follow as weak pressure gradients become established as high pressure drifts across the State.

NE windswell looks to build from Thurs, as a dominant high drifts towards New Zealand, allowing winds from the western flank to form a coast hugging fetch south from Jervis Bay.
This swell should hold into Xmas Day, offering up potential for some good, albeit inconsistent surf with prevailing W’ly winds.
Of more interest is a longer period SE swell being generated from well below the South Island of New Zealand Tues/Wed this week (see below)
Tomorrow's N/NE windswell has been downgraded further and the coming outlook isn't too exciting.
As the easterly swell energy fades the coming outlook is fairly subdued and weak.
We'll see easing surf over the coming days with nothing too substantial to follow it up, so get stuck in.
We've got a sizey easterly swell on the way and it's well worth making the most of even with the slightly dicey winds. There'll be quality waves about.
There's an upgrade in the easterly swell due on the weekend with the associated low being stronger and broader in nature.
A strengthening fetch of north-east winds are producing a building north-east swell which looks best tomorrow as winds swing offshore and it eases.
