Best Days: No great days

Recap

Fun easing surf all weekend, biggest and best Saturday morning but still fun into yesterday.

This morning we're back to a tiny 1-1.5ft ideal for beginners.

This week and weekend (Nov 14 - 19)

As touched on last update, there's nothing significant on the cards for us this week, with distant and inconsistent levels of W/SW groundswell due tomorrow and Wednesday to 1ft+ max.

A surface trough moving in from the west and stalling just to our west will direct a weak fetch of S/SE winds into us, but with no fetch length or breadth.

As a result of this no major size is due to the S/SE windswell, and onshore S/SE winds will create poor conditions in any case Thursday, with E/SE breezes Friday.

A weak polar front moving through our swell window this week will generate a small pulse of SW swell for Saturday but only to 1ft to possibly 2ft across Clifton.

Early N/NW winds will come up from the N/NE quickly and freshen, favouring more exposed breaks through the day.

Into Sunday a more distant long-period W/SW groundswell is due, but not above the size of Saturday's, though morning offshore NW winds should last a little longer.

Beyond this there's nothing major due at all, so we've got a slow couple of weeks ahead.
