Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 7th July)

Best Days: South magnets tomorrow and Friday morning

Features of the Forecast (tl;dr)

• Fading inconsistent E/NE swell tomorrow
• Easing S swell tomorrow AM, with a reinforcing pulse for the PM, easing Fri
• W/SW tending S/SE winds tomorrow, W/SW tending fresh SE on Fri
• Small mix of NE swells Sun-Tue with N-NE winds

Recap

Good waves out of the NE tending E/NE with clean conditions for the most part working the winds and southern corners. We've also got a building S'ly swell today but with average conditions.

This week and weekend (Jul 8 - 16)

The inconsistent E/NE swell energy will continue to drop through tomorrow, with swell magnets expected to still see infrequent 2ft to possibly 3ft sets, but then fading through the day.

This afternoon's S'ly swell should ease back in size through tomorrow and be the most noticeable energy, dropping back from 3ft across the regional south swell magnets.

A reinforcing pulse is due tomorrow afternoon though, generated by a final polar front pushing up towards New Zealand last night and today, keeping 2-3ft sets hitting the regional magnets, easing from a similar size Friday.

Winds aren't ideal with a light W/SW tending S/SE breeze tomorrow, similar Friday but fresher into the afternoon. Try the mornings for the cleanest conditions.

A low pressure system that was mentioned in Monday's notes now looks to form a bit too far north of us, more in line with Sydney and this means we'll hardly see any size at all.

Strong to gale-force E/SE winds will be aimed into southern-mid NSW and we're unlikely to see much over 1-2ft of NE energy Sunday and Monday, spreading radially out from the low. Winds look out of the north in any case along with some tiny NE windswell.

Following this there's nothing major until next weekend when we may see a strong cold outbreak across the state. More on this Friday.
