Broad angled WSW to SSW swell mix will fill in through Monday and provide a modest bump in swell.
Contestable size surf continues into Tuesday. Breezy offshore flow prevails Monday, with a shift back to onshore flow by Tuesday afternoon.
Another modest SW groundswell will build in through Thursday before fading Friday. Going further out, we continue to track a larger swell for the final couple days of the waiting period.
The JBay Open will be webcast live on World Surf League and forms part of the annual JBay Winterfest.
