Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 8th June)

Best Days: Experienced surfers tomorrow and Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday

Recap

After one of the large swells witnessed across this coastline, things settled down into yesterday as winds swung offshore with sets in the 8-10ft++ range.

This morning large surf continued to 6-8ft+ under offshores.

This week and weekend (Jun 9 - 12)

Large surf will continue into the end of the week, but backing off intensity slowly as the persistent fetch of NE gales aimed towards us have slowly retreated out of our swell window to the east.

Large 6ft to occasionally 8ft sets will continue through tomorrow morning, easing in to the afternoon, while we're still seeing NE gales aimed towards us west of New Zealand, generating another E/NE groundswell pulse for Friday afternoon.

Open beaches aren't likely to drop below 4-5ft during the day before then easing more noticeably from 3ft+ Saturday.

Conditions look great with fresh NW tending W'ly winds tomorrow, persisting offshore through most of the period.

Into later Saturday and more so Sunday a strong polar front pushing up and past us will produce a mix of short-range S'ly and stronger groundswell.

A peak is expected Sunday morning to 3-5ft across south facing beaches, easing through the day and further Monday.

Longer term some small distant E/NE trade-swell may be seen into early next week from the retreating fetch of NE winds north of New Zealand, but more on this Friday.
