Screen Shot 2015-03-16 at 10.24.21 PMAnother bit of surf energy is expected to build out of the northwest later this week. This swell is still pending development of the storm.

Our current Tasman swell is expected to continue to slowly fade through Tuesday. Not much expected for the second half of the work week.
