We've got a strong swell for Thursday though it'll come from the west and winds will favour selected spots.

Upgrade for the weekend f/cast but next week is looking much juicier as a complex low in the Tasman aims up more directly at Tasmania. 

The surf will be tiny or onshore on the weekend, with a bit of rare swell again next week but with winds currently unsure.

Gales to strong gales develop later Sun and o/night into Mon as a complex low forms  in the Tasman. Multiple swell generating fetches are expected to form and sling shot around this huge, slow moving low gyre. Thus we can expect an extend period of large surf next week with embedded pulses from the S through S/SE-SE as the week goes on.
