The surf will build rapidly on Wednesday before peaking at around 10ft on Thursday morning. This is a seriously big swell event accompanied by strong southerly winds. Protected southern corners will be the only workable options with protection from the wind and a more manageable size. Keep an eye out for early southewesterly winds each morning.
