Effective Monday afternoon 

EXTENDED FORECAST: (Thursday, March 2nd, and beyond)   
       
South Pacific: The current SSW swell fades into Thursday before another run of SSW swells (210-195) build in Friday and into the weekend. This is thanks to consistent storm activity in the central South Pacific as of late, which put up fairly decent numbers for this time of year. We anticipate more fun zone surf from this run of swell which would produce surf in the chest-shoulder-head high range at the better breaks. Standout spots likely see some waves that will be a little better.

Long range - charts/models are in pretty good agreement of another decent size storm developing underneath New Zealand which looks to set up over the next few days. Stay tuned, we'll refine details over the week as the wheels start turning in the SPAC.

North Pacific: Nothing of note currently on the medium or long range radar.
