Another large groundswell is due on the weekend, generated by a 'bombing' low though winds will be mostly poor.
The coming forecast period is overactive swell wise, but winds will be tricky to work around.
The run of favourable surf on the exposed beaches will come to an end on the weekend, with building swell and workable winds for protected spots due from Sunday.
Fun pulses of swell with favourable morning winds will pad out the end of the week. Plenty of swell is due next week but with dicey winds.
There'll be windows of surf across both regions but with generally small surf as troughy weather dominates. More size is due from Sunday but with deteriorating winds.
The weekend will be mostly poor but early next week better waves are due on the exposed beaches, possibly continuing into mid-week (check back Monday).
The swell will become smaller into the end of the week though with lingering S/SW winds. Next week looks better for a surf to the east.
The coming groundswell will mostly be spoilt by onshore winds though there'll be workable windows for the keen and experienced.
Hit the exposed beaches tomorrow and then work around a larger swell due next week.
