Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 1st April)

Best Days: Late tomorrow, Friday

Recap

Nothing really left out of the north-east yesterday with clean and tiny 1-1.5ft waves, similar today.

This week and weekend (Apr 2 - 5)

Looking at the coming period and you'd be best making the most of the coming NE tending E/NE swell as there's nothing much to follow it up.

This swell will develop over the coming two days, with a surface low moving south-east off the country, squeezing a high over New Zealand. This will see a good fetch of strengthening NE winds develop in our swell window tomorrow, but now it looks like the movement of the low is a little too quick than ideal.

A slight kick in swell is due tomorrow afternoon to 2-3ft, but the low will move away from us overnight, with Friday now looking small and with easing E/NE sets from a similar 2-3ft.

Local winds tomorrow will be poor, strengthening from the E/NE, tending NE and possibly NW on dark. Keep an eye on this possible late window.

Friday will be clean but the swell easing steadily with a W tending NW breeze.

Saturday may see 1-2ft leftovers if we're lucky but don't count on it.

Come Monday we'll see a cold front pushing up and past us bringing a weak increase in short-range S'ly swell but with no real size attached to it.

Longer term there may be some better S'ly swell for late week, but we'll have a closer look at this on Friday.
