Eastern Tasmania Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 5th March)
Best Days: Later Monday
Recap
There hasn't been much surf to talk about the last few days across the East Coast, and today a small expected NE windswell didn't really eventuate.
This week (Mar 5 - 7)
A late S'ly change this afternoon will bring with it a small increase in S/SE windswell tomorrow morning but to no major size and with onshore S/SE tending E'ly winds.
We fell in between swells yesterday morning with less than favourable S/SE winds around Margs and tiny cleaner waves further north. Geraldton saw a lot more size but winds were a bit of a problem.

First up, the coming week and a half is looking really good for surf in eastern Indonesia.
Yesterday's large pulse of inconsistent S/SW groundswell should of eased a touch into today but should remain fairly steady under light variable winds.

Best Days: Great surf expected most days from Sunday onwards.
