As a surf forecaster, one of the hardest times to make a decision is mid-swell event, when the early stages of said event haven’t lived up to expectations. That's where I am right now.

As we’re already seeing 2-3ft sets across NE facing beaches late this afternoon, this size range should be present for the dawn patrol but get in early as it’ll ease throughout the day.

A secondary front trading behind this low looks a little better positioned with strong SW winds expected to nose into the lower Tasman Sea on Thursday. This should generate a slightly bigger south swell for Friday.
