Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Friday 8th February)

Best Days: No good days

Recap

A deepening surface trough directly off our coast kicked up a bit more size than expected yesterday with stormy 6ft+ waves reported. It started to clean up into the afternoon with a NW change and this morning we saw clean pumping easing surf from 3-4ft.

This week and weekend (Feb 9 - 15)

The surf will be all but gone out of the NE tomorrow morning with clean, tiny 1ft+ leftovers.

There's nothing significant forecast for our region at all for the weekend or next week with the flukey E/NE groundswell from tropical developments north-east of New Zealand now looking uneventful.

The developments will be weaker and further east than ideal resulting in no real size across our state at all.

The swell is due to arrive Tuesday and hold from Wednesday through the end of the week and next weekend. It'll be very inconsistent and only 1ft to maybe 2ft with long waits between sets.

There'll be no decent developments in our southern swell window either, so the outlook is unfortunately poor. Have a great weekend and check back here on Monday for an update on some possible juicy developments long-term in the Coral Sea.
