So, we look like we’re close to the top of the initial swell cycle from our lovely little weather system that developed north of New Zealand last week.
Our incoming E/NE swell will reach a peak in size overnight or early Tuesday and then slowly trend down into the afternoon and through Wednesday.
Tiny and clean tomorrow, with a new W/SW swell for Wednesday morning, stronger into the mid-late afternoon with a stronger pulse. Easing surf Thursday, and poor to end the week.
Tiny tomorrow, with a small increase in W/SW swell Wednesday morning, building further later with a better pulse of W/SW swell, peaking early Thursday. Favourable winds for exposed beaches all week.
So, I’ve been tracking the much-discussed incoming E/NE swell for two weeks now (first mentioned in these Forecaster Notes on Nov 3rd), and since then the system has upgraded and downgraded itself many times.
The surf outlook is tricky.
Small amounts of N/NE windswell over the weekend, weaker and minimal next week.
Tiny swell tomorrow, with a slightly stronger swell possible Sunday morning. Tiny all of next week.
Mix of swells tomorrow with dicey winds, small and easing Sunday with early light winds. Good new SW swells Monday and Tuesday, cleanest as the surf eases on Wednesday.
Easing S'ly windswell tomorrow with an afternoon increase in SW groundswell, easing and cleanest Sunday with a morning offshore wind. Good new W/SW swell for mid-next week.
