Into the middle of next week and a robust fetch of E’ly winds extending out from Tasmania into the Tasman Sea, generated by the large high will maintain a solid level of E’ly swell.
Primary tabs
The southern part of the fetch is well aimed for Tasmania’s Easy Coast, even though the strongest winds are to the north.
Another low forms in the trough line off the NSW Central Coast Tues, rapidly re-invigorating a robust S to S/SE fetch off the South to Central Coast before slowly drifting off to the SE later this week. This fetch is enhanced by a pressure gradient squeeze with another strong high currently moving East in the Bight.
Lots of swell and varying winds to work around this period but generally good.
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.

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.
From next week the trend will be to E/NE swell. This will be generated by the increasing E to E/NE winds in the deep E’ly wind field retrograding S and W towards Southern NSW.
The weekend will have waves, albeit of low quality, as the trough stretches out and SE to E/SE winds feeding into the bottom of the trough are well aimed at NE Tasmania.
