Eastern Tasmania Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Friday 26th December)

Best Days: No good days

Recap

Tiny leftovers of E/NE swell were seen yesterday across the coast today, and today a gusty change has kicked up a weak windswell to 1-2ft this afternoon.

This weekend and next week (Dec 27 – Jan 2)

Tomorrow is expected to be tiny with no real swell left in the wake of today's change.

Sunday is due to remain around the same, with only a small weak NE windswell due to develop across north-east facing beaches through later Sunday and Monday.

This will be linked to a broad but not overly strong fetch of NE winds being aimed into us Sunday evening and Monday before a front pushes the front off to the east Monday evening.

North-east facing beaches should build to a very 1-2ft on dark Sunday and then peak Monday to 2ft or so.

Winds will be average though and onshore from the N/NE most of Monday, while the overnight change will kick the swell in the guts, leaving tiny easing 1ft waves under offshores Tuesday.

For the rest of the week there's nothing significant on the cards at all, with frontal activity through our southern swell window being too west in nature or too weak to generate any meaningful S'ly swell. We'll look at this again Monday though. Have a great weekend!
