Best Days: Saturday morning north-east swell magnets, Wednesday north-east swell magnets

Recap

Tiny surf yesterday and similar today.

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

This weekend and next week (Jan 12 - 18)

There's been no change to the weak N/NE windswell event due tomorrow across the coast, with the fetch looking fairly hit and miss.

A patchy fetch of strong N/NE winds will develop later this afternoon and this evening through our swell window, moving away and weakening early tomorrow.

With this I think we'll only see a weak 2ft wave across north-east swell magnets tomorrow morning, easing through the day as a morning W/NW breeze gives into a S/SW change late morning.

No decent swell is due off this system, with a small to tiny and weak S'ly windswell Sunday morning fading rapidly through the day under a morning W'ly breeze.

Into next week small levels of N/NE windswell are due to redevelop across our coasts from Tuesday afternoon and more so Wednesday morning, though size wise, we'll be lucky to see much above 2ft.

Winds look poor and strengthening from the N'th Tuesday, while Wednesday looks to see a SW change move through though the models diverge slightly on the timing and strength of this.

We'll review this Monday.

Longer term besides another small N/NE windswell event for next Saturday there's still nothing of significance on the cards for our region.
