Plenty of E to NE swell ahead this week courtesy of persistent, long, broad fetch of Tradewinds in the South Pacific slot, which has had windspeeds boosted on the northern flank by a tropical depression drifting south from Fijian longitudes. The weekend’s low pressure has scooted away quickly with high pressure now moving into the Tasman. This high will move into the Tasman and an approaching complex trough and cut-off low will tighten the pressure gradient through the week, leading to another round of strong and sizey NE swell.

Models now show this NE flow developing into another powerful fetch as a mid-latitude low and trough system approach from the West later next week.
