Yep, agree with Nicko, back to back swells look on the cards.

Here's my thoughts:

Solid 10ft NW groundswell on the day you arrive (Sat 9th Feb) waning slowly back down to around 4ft/4ft+ come the afternoon of Tuesday 12th Feb.

A new pulse of NW groundswell arriving on Wed 13th, around the 4-5ft class beuilding throughout the day to the 5-6ft class and continuiing around this size on Thurs 14th, before building a notch further into the 6-8ft class come Friday 15th. This swell then wanes slowly back down to 2-3ft come Sunday 17th.

After this there's a possible new pulse of very long period NW groundswell in the very inconsistent 4ft class on Monday 18th, building rapidly throughout the day, possibly upwards of 8-10ft by the end of the Monday 18th, and then slowly waning after this for quite some days, but this is a LONG way off so still major model revisions likely between now and then.

Remember, pics or it never happened!!!!
