Best Days: No good days

Recap

Fun waves Saturday with an easing S'ly swell coming in at 2ft to occasionally 3ft across south magnets, while into Sunday a good new SE groundswell filled in with more variable winds.

This morning the SE swell was still offering fun sets with winds out of the NW, favouring northern corners. A small N/NE windswell due this afternoon has been delayed until tomorrow, but more on this below.

This week and weekend (Jul 4 - 9)

Our current SE swell should of eased this afternoon, with tiny leftovers due into tomorrow morning.

A broad surface low that was due to generate some N/NE windswell across the coast today hasn't really strengthened until this afternoon, with a good fetch of N/NE winds developing in our swell window this evening before dissipating early tomorrow.

With this we'll only see a small fleeting pulse of NE swell for dawn tomorrow, coming in around 1-1.5ft at north swell magnets, fading through the day. Morning NW winds won't be too favourable either.

We'll see this broad low slowly drift south-east of us over the coming days, and a good fetch of strong E'ly winds on the southern flank will sit just a bit too south to generate any decent swell for us.

If this sat a little further north, we'd see fun SE swell spreading up and into us.

Therefore there's nothing surfable on the cards for the rest of the period until possibly early-mid next week. More on this Wednesday though.
