Storm activity in the Tasman Sea is expected to bring us a southwest swell today. The swell should build Thursday, peak Friday and and slowly ease over the weekend. Another slightly larger swell is possible on Saturday which should keep wave heights steady. That swell is expected to peak early next week.
