Effective Monday afternoon of March 2nd, 2015
SHORT TERM FORECAST (through Friday, March 6th):
Highlights: Solid SSW swell.
South Pacific Swell: A good looking fetch was aimed towards Central America last week. Healthy, long-period SSW (220-205) Southern Hemi swell generated by that system starts to fill in late today, steadily building Tuesday with head high+ to well overhead surf picking up through the day.
This swell then tops out on Wednesday with consistent overhead waves at lots of exposed spots and double overhead+ sets for standouts. This surf then gradually eases through the second half of the week but Thurs/Fri still offer fun size chest-head high+ sets.
EXTENDED FORECAST (Saturday, March 7th, and beyond):
Highlights: More Southern hemi swell through mid-month.
South Pacific Swell: Fresh, moderate scale SSW swell (220-200) is then scheduled to roll in for the 7th-10th but that looks much smaller overall with waist-shoulder zone waves mostly. Standouts may see some head high sets roll in at times.
Beyond that, longer range models/charts show potential for another decent sized, but more southerly, S-SSW swell (210-190) around the 11th-14th time frame. Still pending development, so stay tuned.
WOW. Did this early swell ever fall of the charts?!
DAMN. We will be drinking a lot of beer through Monday, 3/9/15.
WARNING. They had better improve on these longer range forecasts... this ain't the East Coast of the USA!!
