A weak ridge from a high (1023hPa) tracking towards Tasmania supplies weak breezes tomorrow, likely SW inshore early before tending light SE-NE through the day. A continuing mix of S swells, mostly mid period from the frontal progression below Australia supplies some 2-3ft surf at S swell magnets, smaller elsewhere.
Improving conditions through the weekend though with plenty of size, bigger and windier next week, with quality waves in protected spots.
The tropics remains active with a monsoon trough and convective activity strewn across the Top End, while the edge of the trough in the South Pacific has spawned TC Judy, with another system behind it. Both of those systems are now modelled to track quickly SE through the swell window with no major swells generated.
Further south a deep polar low and frontal system is generating large swells, with traces of long period S swell refracting back into Eastern Tas over the coming days. A weak, troughy pattern is NE of Tas now with a high pressure system expected to drift over the state through Fri.
Building surf over the coming days, cleanest tomorrow morning and fun on the weekend.
Lots of action on the charts but not much of it will translate to meaningful surf for the Eastern Seaboard.

There's nowhere to recommend for the coming days, with a couple of options early next week.

There'll be plenty of swell to end the week, but winds are mostly dicey, better on the weekend. Next week will be cold, windy and sizey.
