Thursday morning is looking fun with a sizey S'ly swell under light offshore breezes. The leftovers on Friday morning are also looking good although smaller. Open beaches shouldn't miss out with inconsistent 2ft options filling in off a long range E/NE groundswell.

Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Guy Dixon (issued Monday 15th February)
Best Days: Each morning. Thursday looks is worth checking out.
Recap:
We saw the effects of a weak northeasterly windswell over the weekend, with a small swell building to the 1-1.5ft range on Sunday, which faded fairly quickly into today with just 1ft leftover.
Most locations were clean early, before localised seabreezes became established each afternoon, taking the sheen off the quality.
Not much in the size department until next week when we see a long range E/NE groundswell fill in from TC Winston, accompanied by a building southerly swell off a deep cut-off low.
Not a whole lot to work with until Tuesday when an E/NE groundswell is due to fill in across open beaches. A strong front/cut-off low should favour protected southern corners, while exposed south swell magnets pick up building low quality windswell.
A pretty quiet week ahead, although clean each morning. Better prospects come next week with the chance of a long range E/NE groundswell from a potential tropical cyclone.
Make the most of the surf this weekend, particularly each morning as size looks to dwindle early next week.
Not much quality on offer for the end of the week, but we should see a mix of E/NE and S'ly groundswells over the weekend with light winds each morning.
The surf will continue to fade throughout Tuesday, becoming pretty small on Wednesday and Thursday. There are some pretty promising signs for a building E/NE swell for the weekend - open beaches looking at a fun 2-3ft groundswell with favourable winds each morning.
Large stormy waves tomorrow and Sunday with torrential rain and strong onshore winds. Conditions improving as the low drifts south-east early next week.
Make the most of the light winds on Thursday morning, because a gusty NE breeze looks to dominate until at least the late weekend otherwise. We are looking a a strong increase in northeasterly windswell during the coming days, without much quality.
