The set-up is unusual for Tasmania in that the low is positioned so far south, that the E to E/NE fetch becomes very well aimed into the swell window.

A good mix of swells for the coming days but with generally poor winds, smaller but cleaner from Friday through early-mid next week.
This is maintaining a deep E’ly flow, with coastal troughs and a surface low off the NSW North Coast, now moving South.

Another so, so period but there'll be some fun windows of cleaner conditions across the South Coast into the end of the week.
Peaky and relatively clean conditions on the beaches all week with poor surf developing from the weekend.
During next week a static pattern develops where strong high pressure is positioned far enough south for a strong, deep E’ly flow to impact Tasmania.
Unfortunately, the low now moves southwards, dragging the E’ly flow with it, out of the CQ swell window.
The basic building blocks of the pattern are a strong high pressure belt cradling multiple low pressure systems in the Coral Sea and South Pacific- essentially creating a huge, multi-centred low pressure gyre through a vast area of ocean to our east.
