Best Days: Saturday late morning

Recap

A fun pulse of S'ly swell was seen yesterday with favourable conditions for south magnets, easing into today but clean again.

This week and weekend (Jan 8 - 13)

There's nothing significant on the cards running into the end of the week with the surf due to be tiny tomorrow, similar Friday ahead of a late increase in junky N/NE windswell.

The fetch linked to Saturday morning's N/NE windswell event is now looking suss, with only a weak and short-lived burst of NE winds due to develop in our swell window, cut off with a change through Saturday.

Size wise it looks like we'll only see small weak 2ft+ sets across north-east magnets Saturday morning with a N/NW tending W wind ahead of a S'ly change late morning. This looks like the time to hit those north-east swell magnets.

The change won't be strong enough or well aimed enough to generate any decent S'ly swell for Sunday, and the N/NE windswell energy will be all but gone.

Another weak N/NE windswell event is on the cards for Tuesday, but more on this in Friday's update.
