THURSDAY...small southerly swell will continue with infrequent sets near 3ft at select spots.
recent buoy observations from the southern buoys are indicating that a small south swell has moved in. general observations are showing wave periods of 12-14sec with heights of near three.
the source was generated from a system east of new zealand over the weekend with winds near 50mph over a three day stretch. the result will keep the swell around into the weekend keeping conditions near the chest high range. with the light and variable winds coming up conditions should be good.
in the long run a much larger south-southwesterly swell is going to move in and may produce surf well above advisary levels.
the call is for surf in the 2-3ft range with light trades. all in all there have been worse surfing days.
