Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Steve Shearer (issued Fri 13 August)
Features of the Forecast (tl;dr)
- Small S swell Sat as polar low passes under Tas Fri
- Slow moving low provides S swell pulse late Mon, peaking Tues, leftovers Wed
Recap
Small amounts of NE windswell in the 1-2ft range provided some just rideable surf Thursday. Swell from this source has eased back but with a few tiny waves available at NE facing beaches.
