Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 8th April)

Best Days: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday on the south swell magnets

Recap

Good waves yesterday with a strong kick in S'ly swell, though this morning there should have been plenty of size left on the coast, maybe the high tide was masking it?

This week and weekend (Apr 9 - 12)

With the swell apparently gone today, there'll be nothing to surf tomorrow or Friday with the energy forecast to drop away further.

We then look at the weekend and we've got some convergence on the coming frontal systems south of and across our state.

We'll see a strengthening polar low generate a fleeting fetch of severe-gale to storm-force W/SW winds just within our swell window tomorrow afternoon and evening.

A flukey 1-2ft of S'ly groundswell is due off this source Saturday across the south magnets with a morning W'ly ahed of a strong S'ly change into the afternoon.

No major swell is due from this change with maybe 2ft+ of S'ly windswell Sunday (with a morning offshore) but a secondary polar front projecting through our southern swell window Sunday should produce a bit better size into Monday.

Sets to 3ft+ are due across the south swell magnets and conditions look good with a W/NW tending NE breeze.

Tuesday and Wednesday look clean with the S'ly swell easing, with a possible follow up S/SE groundswell from the backside of a polar low drifting east. More on this Friday.
