This week and weekend (Jan 22 - 27)

Today's south swell will drop right back overnight and there'll be hardly any size left at all tomorrow morning, with tiny to flat conditions likely to prevail.

A southerly change on Wednesday morning will kick up a small and weak S'ly windswell through the day but with poor onshore S/SE winds. We may see surf to 2-3ft, fading into Thursday from 1-2ft with an average N/NE onshore, strengthening through the day.

A fun N/NE windswell should be seen from this local N/NE fetch, coming in at 2-3ft across north-east swell magnets but with average N'ly winds, tending N/NW later in the day.

The N/NE windswell will fade through Saturday but we've got some new S/SE groundswell on the cards for the weekend.

This will be from a flukey source, that being a tight fetch of polar severe-gale to storm-force S/SE winds. A little projection of S'ly gales towards us on Wednesday evening looks best, with the groundswell due to build Saturday and reach 3ft+ during the afternoon, easing from a similar size on Sunday.

A morning W/SW offshore will swing SE through Saturday and then NE late favouring northern corners, while Sunday looks great with a W/NW tending NW breeze.

Longer term there's nothing too significant for next week until possibly late in the week. More on this Wednesday.
