Easter outlook

My Easter surf predictions:

After an initial hit from Thursday's low pressure(986), high pressure quickly sweeps in for Saturday.

I can't see us having much to surf on Saturday but there might be something for mals.

By late Sunday and into Monday we should start to see the next batch of swell heading our way.

The winds will be mainly light onshore, swinging SSE for Monday. Keep an eye on wind guru updates...


The weather outlook from BBC Weatherman Derek Brockway:

Good Friday will start cloudy with outbreaks of rain, heavy in places. It should brighten-up in the southwest during the morning. Elsewhere, the rain slower to clear, especially in the east but it should gradually improve during the afternoon. Becoming drier and brighter.

Still the odd shower. The best of the sunshine in the southwest and the west coast. Lighter winds and feeling fresher. Highs 10 to 12 Celsius.

Saturday generally brighter with sunny spells. A few showers will break out, locally heavy but hit and miss. Quite a few places staying dry. Sunniest towards the coast. Light WSW winds with highs 10 to 13C.
Saturday night dry and chilly with a ground frost in places.

Easter day a sunny start. Clouds building-up with a few scattered showers breaking out. Locally heavy but most places staying dry. Best of the sunshine towards the coast. Light winds with highs 11 to 13C.

Monday doesn’t look so good. Cloudy with outbreaks of rain. Highs 11 to 15 Celsius with a S-SE breeze.

Pasg Hapus!
