There hasn't really been much of an improvement to our poor outlook, with the models showing a tiny kick in N/NE windswell on Sunday, but my take on this is it won't be surfable.

A very short-lived fetch of N/NE winds will be aimed through our swell window Sunday morning before quickly shifting away, with a possible spike in N/NE swell to 1ft+ as winds shift NW.

This swell will fade into Monday but a more likely S'ly swell is due to fill in, generated as a mid-latitude low pushes across us.

A very short-lived but stronger fetch of S/SW winds are due to be generated up our coast early Monday morning, before pushing away to the east through the day.

We may see a very small and fleeting pulse of S'ly swell to 2ft to maybe 3ft if all goes to plan across south magnets through the day, tiny elsewhere and with improving W/SW tending W/NW winds.

The swell will be gone by Tuesday with nothing significant due until possibly late in the week when a very strong mid-latitude front pushes across the country, directing strong to gale-force N/NE winds into us. More on this Monday. Have a great weekend!
