Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 18th April)

Best Days: South swell magnets Thursday morning, and Tuesday

Recap

Average yesterday morning ahead of some strong new S'ly groundswell pulsing through the afternoon, impacting south magnets.

This morning south magnets are again picked up all the size, smaller at all other breaks and average.

This week and weekend (Apr 19 - 22)

Our current S'ly groundswell should be easing across the region, and we'll see smaller fading 2-3ft sets across south magnets tomorrow with a morning W/NW wind, tending SE into the afternoon.

We've then got nothing of any major significance due across our region through the weekend with weak and unfavourably aligned polar frontal activity between us and New Zealand.

South magnets may see very small 1-2ft sets through Friday, Saturday and Sunday with favourable morning NW winds and afternoon sea breezes.

A better S/SE groundswell is due Tuesday morning, produced by a good fetch of S'ly gales projecting on top an active sea state, through our swell window Friday evening and Saturday.

This should produce 2-3ft sets under a N/NW offshore, with nothing of note beyond this. Check back Friday for the latest on late next week though.
