6/6
MONDAY...current swell on southern shores on the way down slowly over the next few days. tomorrow will see a small decline of the south-southwest swell that arrived over the weekend. this swell was the product of a massive storm out of the tasman sea over a week ago. due to the long fetch and duration of the storm expect the swell to hang aroud for the next few days. surf locally will be 2-3ft at best with typical windy conditions for the summer.
major storm activity on both sides of tahiti. the first swell wil arrive on tuesday with sets in the 10ft plus range from a system that's been spinning just of the coast of northeastern new zealand. later in the week another storm will form in roughly the same area and seas will reach similar heights as thie previous one sendind another round of large surf. as this system unfolds it looks to spin off a sister storm that will move in behind it and gain strength as it moves north-northeast in the direction of tahiti approching to within 800nm sunday into monday. of interest too is that a powerful fetch will set up southeast of tahiti that will produce a 4-6ft swell arriving near wednesday. in a nutshell tahiti is about to enter at least of week long heavy wave action. look for tow teams to possibly arrive later in the week for the swell arriving next tuesday.
