EXTENDED SURF FORECAST (WEDNESDAY 1/4 AND BEYOND): 
Easing trade windswell is expected on Wednesday into Thursday
and Friday as a weaker pressure pattern develops over the Atlantic.
A small mix of trade  windswell and northerly background swell looks
to linger though the end of the week and into the weekend. Small to
fun size surf will linger for the N coast through the end of the week.
The NW coast however will see small leftovers Wednesday and
minimal surf for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

We're watching for the development of a front moving off the east
coast of the US into the western Atlantic this weekend. This look to
send a pulse of northerly swell to the region for the weekend moving
into next week, mixing in with continued small trade windswell.
However we're still seeing some disagreement in the models on the
timing and strength of the front.
