Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Friday 22nd September)

Best Days: No good days

Recap

Small leftover 1-1.5ft sets across the coast yesterday morning with offshore winds, back to an unsurfable 0.5-1ft today.

This weekend and next week (Sep 23 - 29)

The coming weekend is looking poor with any N/NE windswell tomorrow unlikely to top 1ft through the afternoon along with average winds.

Come Sunday a strong offshore change will kill off the surf rapidly.

Into Monday evening, a mid-latitude moving across us is expected to aim a short-lived fetch of strong S/SW winds up through our southern swell window early Tuesday morning.

We should see a small pulse of S'ly swell for the morning, but not above 2ft and with W/SW tending E winds.

The swell will fade through Wednesday with offshore winds.

Into Thursday we may see some small N/NE windswell developing down the coast, but the outlook improves into the following week.

A strong and slow moving node of the Long Wave Trough is forecast to move in from the west next weekend and once it pushes further east, we'll see a series of strong polar fronts aimed through our southern swell window.

This could lead to a good run of S'ly swell, but more on this Monday. Have a great weekend!
