This weekend and next week (Jan 20 - 26)

The surf will remain tiny into tomorrow, likely around 1-1.5ft owing to a small low forming south of us today. A low point in swell is expected Sunday morning but into the afternoon and Monday a strong SW groundswell is due.

This swell has actually been upgraded in size, with the polar frontal progression generating it now due to produce a great elongated fetch of W/SW gales in our swell window.

We should see a good kick to 2ft across Clifton later Sunday but with SE sea breezes.

Monday should be see easy 3ft sets across Clifton, easing during the day with a N/NW offshore, swinging more W/NW and possibly giving into SE sea breezes.

This swing to W/NW winds will be associated with a mid-latitude front pushing in from the west, generating strong W/SW winds.

We'll see a good secondary pulse of W/SW groundswell for later Tuesday but more so Wednesday to 2ft to possibly 3ft under NW offshores.

Following this we may actually see one more low forming in our swell window, producing another swell for Thursday afternoon, but we'll have another look at this Monday. Have a great weekend!
