Eastern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Monday 23rd November)

Best Days: Wednesday

Recap

Small, clean 1-2ft waves for the keen Saturday with a small spike in N/NE windswell Sunday to 2ft.

Today the surf has faded back to a tiny 1-1.5ft.

This week and weekend (Nov 24 - 29)

Looking at the current week and we've got a tricky but mostly small to tiny run of surf ahead.

Currently a low is forming in the Tasman Sea, with a small fetch of strong E/NE winds being aimed through our eastern swell window. This fetch will be short-lived and moving away from as as the low tracks quickly to the east. This will limit the swell potential across our region unfortunately.

The swell should build later tomorrow to 1-2ft across open beaches, peaking around 2ft Wednesday, fading Thursday.

Conditions tomorrow will vary with a dawn S'ly breeze, shifting E and the N/NE while freshening into the afternoon. Wednesday will be nice and clean in the morning with a W/NW offshore, stronger NW into the afternoon.

A shallow change out of the S'th is likely Thursday, swinging E and then NE into the afternoon.

This change may generate a small 1-2ft of S'ly swell Friday but onshore E'ly winds will create bumpy conditions, strengthening from the N/NE into the afternoon kicking up a small 1-2ft of N/NE windswell.

Come the weekend a change will kill off the N/NE windswell with tiny, fading surf and nothing really to back it up.

So in short Wednesday looks the pick of the period with the peak in E/NE swell through the day. See you back here Wednesday.
