This week and weekend (Mar 1- 4)

Tomorrow is a no go with an onshore change due to move through before dawn, persisting all day with no new decent swell due until later in the day.

This swell which is expected to peak Friday in the 1-2ft range, followed by some similar sized but less consistent energy Friday afternoon and Saturday morning was generated over the weekend and the last couple of days.

An initial strong polar low and then weakening but broadening fetch of W/SW winds moving towards us produced the swell.

Conditions Friday look good with a variable morning breeze, ahead of E/SE sea breezes, with N/NW tending E/SE winds Saturday as the swell eases from an inconsistent 1-2ft.

A couple of weak and small fronts pushing in from the west will produce some small weak W/SW swell for Sunday/Monday but only to 1ft+ or so and with brief morning W/NW breezes.

Longer term there's nothing major due until possibly later next week, but more on this Friday.
