Recap

Small, clean 1-2ft waves yesterday and today with background levels of S/SW swell.

This week and next (May 26 – Jun 3)

The last two day's of S/SW swell will fade into tomorrow leaving tiny 1-1.5ft waves across Clifton, even smaller Friday and more so to 1ft.

N tending N/NE winds will favour selected spots tomorrow, with NW winds due to give into a very shallow S/SW change Friday afternoon as a weakening mid-latitude low pushes across us.

On the weekend, a very inconsistent mid-period W/SW swell is due to fill in, generated by a distant polar low on the weekend and earlier this week.

Infrequent 1-1.5ft sets max are due across Clifton Saturday, easing Sunday from possibly a touch smaller size.

Winds look favourable all day Saturday and Sunday with N'ly tending variable winds on the former, N/NW tending variable on the latter.

Moving into next week, and a broad, cold and high riding low is due to move in across us on Tuesday. This will bring increasing S/SW winds and some weak S/SW windswell Wednesday but to no major size. We'll look at this closer on Friday.
