Following this morning's swell, we've got less favourable winds and generally smaller surf for the period.

Our current pattern of slow moving high pressure  near New Zealand is still well entrenched with a modest cold front sweeping into the Tasman and bringing a S’ly change to temperate NSW. Multiple cells of reinforcing high pressure then one by one move into the Tasman, maintaining a weak ridge up the NSW Coast and a deep E’ly flow through the South Pacific and Eastern Coral Sea, with resulting E’ly swells favouring the sub-tropics for size.

The wind outlook is better for tomorrow so make the most of it with workable but not so perfect waves on the weekend.

It's a slower but still active period with small swells and varying winds.
