Best Days: No great days, try Friday morning at north swell magnets

Recap

Fading NE swell from a clean, fun 2ft on the sets Saturday, tiny yesterday. Today we've got a tiny N/NE windswell continuing across the region.

This week and weekend (Nov 17 - 22)

As touched on in last week's updates, there isn't much to work with for the coming period unfortunately.

A low moving across us today will have no strength and the fetch on its backside will be too zonal to generate any size.

Our small N/NE windswell flagged for later in the week is a bit hit and miss.

A weakening trough moving in from the west will generate a weak, limited fetch of strong N'ly winds through our northern swell window Thursday evening and early Friday.

We should see a small pulse of weak swell only to 1-2ft Friday morning but with W/NW tending strong S'ly winds as the the trough moves through.

The S'ly change looks to generate some weak S'ly windswell but to no major size Saturday, possibly 2ft+, and with onshore winds.

Following this there's still nothing major on the cards, but more on this in Wednesday's notes.
