There's nothing major on the cards this period, with tomorrow morning being the pick in the South West.

Fun waves today across the beaches, with a good new swell for Sunday ahead of a large number thanks to a 'bombing low' forming south of the country.

Moderate sized swells for the period with funky winds to end off the week, but workable in the mornings.

Ex TC Gabrielle (SS) is now on the eastern side of the North Island with swell generating winds also in the swell shadow of the North Island. A weak (1017HPa) high is covering most of the Tasman Sea with an active monsoon trough still supplying plenty of tropical moisture and instability across Northern Australia. Remnants of a trough near the South Island have set up a weak, off-axis fetch back into the Tasman Sea while transient N’ly fetches off the NSW South Coast supply some small, weak NE windswell. It all spells a much quieter period of surf ahead.
