Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 7th October)

Best Days: Northern corners tomorrow and Friday for the experienced, Saturday

Recap

A mix of leftover N/NE swell and building S'ly swell yesterday, easing this morning mixed in with some inconsistent E/NE but fun sized energy from a low above New Zealand.

This week and weekend (Oct 8 - 11)

The next two days are quite dynamic as a deepening and significant low drifts south-east across Victoria and then us.

As the low deepens and drifts south we'll see it squeeze a strong high in the Tasman Sea, resulting in strengthening, slow moving E/NE gales being aimed into us tomorrow, slipping south-east into the evening.

A large, stormy and rapidly building NE swell will be seen, likely reaching 8-10ft along with gale-force E/NE winds.

On dark the north end of the coast may see winds swing N/NW as the low slips south-east, but come Friday morning winds may be dicey and N-N/NW, ahead of a change proper into the afternoon out of the W/NW.

Size wise, the swell will be large and easing out of the E/NE with sets dropping from 8ft or so, down to 4-6ft into the afternoon, smaller again Saturday and down from 3-4ft.

Winds on Saturday will remain great and offshore out of the W/NW, holding all day.

Following this the outlook is slow with no significant swells on the cards, so make the most of the coming days waves!
