SURF FORECAST

SUMMARY

The further development of ex TC Iris holds potential for a strong rise in ESE swell today; speculatively building from 2 to 4ft towards a larger 3 to 6ft throughout the afternoon. This is likely to culminate in stormy 4 to 8ft conditions tomorrow, making for great conditions inside the points and bays. Some downgrading remains a possibility over the next 48 hours. Specifics aside, a steady decline in ESE swell will maintain great conditions over the Easter long weekend.
