Southern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Friday 5th December)

Best Days: Wednesday morning, Friday morning

Recap

Tiny onshore waves yesterday which have continued into today but with a more variable breeze from the SE.

This weekend and next week (Dec 6- 12)

The weekend will see more swell than recent days but along with poor and fresh S/SE winds tomorrow and E/NE winds Sunday.

A junky S/SE windswell should kick to 2ft tomorrow and then ease from 1-2ft or so Sunday with those poor winds.

Into the afternoon a long-range SW groundswell is due but only to 1ft+ or so, so hit up exposed coasts for an afternoon surf.

Sunday's tiny pulse of swell will fade into Monday and winds are expected to go onshore again from the SE to SW and another trough moves across the state,

For the rest of the week we'll see dicey winds, but a stronger pulse of SW groundswell through Tuesday afternoon, peaking Wednesday.

This will be generated by a short-lived polar low firing up to our south-west over the weekend, producing a small 1-2ft of SW groundswell. Wednesday morning should see variable winds tending locally offshore from the NW ahead of a S/SW change through the day, so this is the day to surf!

Into the end of the week we should see some stronger and longer-lived long-range SW groundswell fill in from a series of broad and strong polar fronts firing up under WA early in the week.

An initial pulse Thursday afternoon to 2ft is expected with a possible larger kick to 2-3ft Friday with favourable winds. We'll have to confirm this on Monday though so check back then for an update. Have a great weekend!
