Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Steve Shearer (issued Fri 13 August)
Features of the Forecast (tl;dr)
Recap
Small amounts of NE windswell in the 1-2ft range provided some just rideable surf Thursday. Swell from this source has eased back but with a few tiny waves available at NE facing beaches.
With severe gales extending from Tasmania down to 55S and a slightly more favourable SSW tilt in the winds which then push up adjacent to SE Tasmania during Tues..
As a cold front approaches Wed, NNW’ly winds freshen adjacent to the NSW coast and out into the Tasman sea. This is expected to generate a small 2ft NE windswell late Wed
Still on track for fun S’ly groundswell Saturday generated by an intense polar low with a mostly W’ly fetch and a better angled following front with a more favourable SW fetch
Still on track for fun S’ly groundswell Saturday generated by an intense polar low with a mostly W’ly fetch and a better angled following front with a more favourable SW fetch.
A bit to work around this period with a fun swell from the east ahead of south swells on the weekend.
There's nothing of note still on the cards this forecast period with no swells of size or strength.
Make the most of today's acute N/NE swell as there's nothing on the cards really for the rest of the period.
The outlook remains poor with a bit of swell due from the north mid-week but with poor winds.
The coming forecast period remains quiet with only a couple of flukey swells on the cards.
