This week and weekend (Mar 29 – Apr 1)

Tomorrow morning will remain tiny, but later in the day and more so Friday we'll see a good W/SW groundswell filling in, followed by a reinforcing SW pulse Saturday.

The W/SW groundswell is being generated by a broad and good fetch of strong to gale-force W/SW winds under the Bight.

We'll see this storm stall and drift south this evening and tomorrow, producing a stationary fetch of W/SW gales more in our south-western swell window.

What we'll see is a late increase in W/SW groundswell tomorrow, possibly to 1-1.5ft on dark, but Friday should see consistent 2ft waves with the odd 3ft set in the mix.

Our reinforcing SW groundswell for Saturday looks to provide more consistent sets to 3ft, easing later in the day, back from 1-2ft on Sunday.

Conditions will be clean all day tomorrow with a fresh but easing NW wind, clean again Friday morning but giving into a W/SW change mid-morning. Saturday looks great again with a NW offshore most of the day, with light sea breezes likely into the afternoon.

A W/SW swell is due on Monday morning, produced by a small but intense front pushing in from the west over the weekend.

A fetch of strong to gale-force W/SW winds should kick up 2ft surf Monday morning and with a NW offshore wind, giving into a SW change as another front moves through.

Beyond this a strong polar low may generate a good S/SW groundswell for later next week, but more on this Friday.
