Waves up to 4m are hitting Napier and Hastings beaches today as a strong southeasterly swell spills into Hawke Bay, drawing an equal response from wet suited surfies.
MetService meteorologist Tom Adams said the aqua-treat would be short lived and Monday and Tuesday would be better spent catching up on laundry ahead of more wet weather forecast to return later this week.
Fine weather is forecast Monday and Tuesday with winds shifting to provider drier and warmer winds.
"Those winds from the northwest are coming overland, so are relatively dry," he said.
Monday's high will be 13 C and Tuesday 16 C.
