This weekend and next week (Mar 6 - 11)

There's nothing of significance due over the coming days with tiny surf expected to continue tomorrow and Wednesday.

Into Thursday though we're due to see a fun pulse of S'ly groundswell, generated by a strong polar low moving under the state tomorrow.

A fetch of severe-gale to nearly storm-force W/SW winds should produce a good pulse of S'ly groundswell for late in the day Wednesday but more so Thursday morning to 2-3ft at south swell magnets.

Conditions will be clean with a morning offshore ahead of sea breezes as the swell eases.

A secondary tight polar low is due to generate a smaller secondary S'ly groundswell pulse for Friday to 2ft max at south magnets with morning offshores.

Looking at the developments in the Tasman Sea, and we're due to see a strong high stalling just a little to north in position for us.

This will produce plenty of SE swell for the East Coast, but for us, we're hardly due to see any swell besides some small E/SE energy spreading out towards us Sunday and more so Monday. We'll hopefully see 2-3ft of swell, but we'll have a closer look at this Wednesday.
