Best Days: Sunday morning, Tuesday

Recap

Tiny waves yesterday to 1ft, but today a new swell has spiked with sneaky 1-2ft sets.

This weekend and next week (Jan 28 – Feb 3)

The surf is due to remain tiny tomorrow morning, but our new W/SW swell for Sunday is still on track.

A persistent and broad but relatively weak mid-latitude front moving in from the west is generating a fetch of strong W/SW winds.

Only 1-2ft waves are due Sunday but with favourable NW winds, tending variable and then E'ly through the afternoon/evening.

Monday will be clean again but tiny.

Our stronger W/SW groundswell for Tuesday has been downgraded a little, as the mid-latitude low generating it is now forecast to be weaker.

We'll see a distant fetch of W/SW gales aimed through our swell window, but only infrequent 1-2ft sets are due through the day with all day offshore NW tending W/NW winds.

Longer term, small W/SW swells will continue from persistent weak mid-latitude frontal systems, but to no major size. More on this Monday. Have a great weekend!
