Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Monday 1st June)

Best Days: Protected spots keen surfers Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday

Recap

Tiny Saturday with a bumpy and choppy N'ly windswell for yesterday, tiny into this morning.

This week and weekend (June 2 - 7)

The surf will remain tiny into tomorrow, but into Wednesday we'll see a strong polar front pushing up and past us, generating a fetch of strong S/SW winds in our southern swell window.

It's not ideal but we should see a kick in localised swell through Wednesday to 3-5ft or so across south facing beaches, 2ft in protected spots along with strong SW tending S/SW winds.

The swell will ease quickly through Thursday back from 3ft+ on the south magnets but with much cleaner conditions under a W tending NW breeze. Friday will be clean though tiny.

A better pulse of S'ly groundswell is due on Saturday though from a strong polar low forming under the state Thursday. A fetch of severe-gale W/SW winds will be generated through our southern swell window, producing a good kick in size Saturday to 3-4ft on the south swell magnets.

A surface trough moving through the day looks to bring unfavourable SW winds in the morning, possibly variable into the afternoon though we'll review this Wednesday.

Longer term smaller S'ly groundswell pulses are on the cards, but more on this Wednesday.
