Small swell is pushing northeast expected to arrive on Tues (4/22) Secondary fetch developed in the Central South Pacific Wed (4/16) with 28-30 ft sea aimed northeast. And another is to track east across the deep South Pacific Thurs (4/17) with 34 ft seas aimed east. A broader one to follow Fri-Sat (4/19) with 39 ft seas aimed east-northeast. And maybe another to follow.
