On Friday we had an upgrade in the fetch generating tomorrow's N/NE windswell event, but now being right on the doorstep of this swell, it's not looking as favourable.

A strengthening but poorly aligned fetch of N/NE winds this evening will be steered away from us in the early hours, resulting in a rapid drop in N/NE swell that will be lucky to top 1-2ft tomorrow morning.

The SE swell though off the low that moved over towards New Zealand has been upgraded a touch, with a stalling fetch of strong to gale-force SE winds being aimed towards us through yesterday.

We should see a fun SE pulse building to 2-3ft through tomorrow under W/NW-NW offshores, easing from 2ft+ Wednesday as W/NW winds persist.

There's then nothing of note for our region for the rest of the forecast period besides tiny flukey swells. We'll have a closer look at this Wednesday though.
