Improved outlook for next week as the weekends front stalls around a trough line in the central/eastern lower Tasman and forms a compact low, possibly even retrograding NW.

A slower period of activity with swells mostly in the moderate sized + range.
A persistent tradewind fetch is in the process of resetting with a less favourable wind alignment and easing swells.
The remnants of a low/front near the South Island are lingering near the South Island through the short term with the next frontal system expected late this week. No major swell sources on the radar so lets look at a few bits and pieces on offer this week.
