Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Friday 2nd March)

Best Days: Saturday morning, Sunday morning, later next week

Recap

Poor onshore waves yesterday morning, but our new pulse of E'ly groundswell kicked to a solid 4ft across the coast later in the day with good options in southern corners.

This swell held into this morning to a good 3-4ft with light offshore winds, but a drop in size should have been seen into this afternoon.

This weekend and next week (Mar 3 - 9)

The strong Tasman Low responsible for the E'ly groundswell has since weakened and moved out of our swell window, and as a result we should be seeing the swell easing, dropping further from 2ft+ tomorrow morning at open beaches.

Conditions should be clean with a freshening N/NW'ly.

Our small pulse of SE swell for Sunday morning is still on track, with a weak low sitting just west of New Zealand's South Island currently aiming a weak fetch of SE winds towards us.

This should produce some small SE swell to 2ft across open beaches Sunday morning with an offshore wind, ahead of afternoon sea breezes.

Into early next week there's nothing major due, but as touched on last update we're expected to see some developments through the Tasman Sea mid-week.

A strong high moving in slowly from the west is expected to be squeezed by a deepening low west of New Zealand, generating a fetch of strong SE winds on the edge of our swell window.

This should generate a fun pulse of E/SE swell for later in the week that at this stage looks to come in around 3ft. We'll have to confirm this on Monday though. Have a great weekend!
