Today we're back to small to tiny surf.

Today’s Forecaster Notes are brought to you by Rip Curl

This week and weekend (Apr 21 - 27)

There's nothing too major on the cards for the weekend, but a persistent weak fetch of SW winds along the polar shelf should keep infrequent 1-2ft sets hitting south magnets tomorrow and Sunday.

A light variable wind should create clean conditions tomorrow morning ahead of N/NE sea breezes and then W/NW tending N/NE winds Sunday.

Monday morning may see 1-2ft sets lingering but into the afternoon and more so Tuesday our new S/SE groundswell is expected.

On top of the weak fetch of polar SW winds linked to the weekend's swell we'll see a good fetch of S'ly gales projected north through our swell window tomorrow, south of New Zealand.

A fun S/SE groundswell is expected to arrive later Monday and build to 2ft, with a peak Tuesday morning around 3ft with improving N/NE tending N/NW winds.

The swell should ease through the afternoon and down further from 2ft Wednesday morning under a W/NW'ly.

Longer term the models have been toying with a deepening low in the Tasman Sea which could bring us some good swell potential, but we'll have to review this Monday. Have a great weekend!
