Forecast is holding up :) Papa G is calling the upcoming swell the "Pitcairn swell," in his forecast notes: Later on in the evening there could start to be some little peaky forerunners from the Pitcairn swell. Stand out breaks could see some chest high sets with periods around 15 seconds.
Sunday the 4th, spotty SSW (205-215) should be filling in with periods around 13 to 14 seconds. Size could boost up into the waist to head high range at stand out breaks, but it looks like it could be hit or miss. The original fetch wasn’t very ideal, and had a bad trajectory for the region, so just keep that in mind if you get skunked.
Beyond that, it looks like small surf for a few more days, but we could see a small bump showing up around the 7th of March.
Meanwhile, the reliable Buoyweather forecast is looking good:
