Southern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Monday 9th March)

Best Days: Every day over the coming period

Recap

Fun small clean waves Saturday with offshore winds, while Sunday was smaller and in the 1-2ft range but great with favourable winds for most of the day again.

Today a new W/SW groundswell has filled in with good 2ft sets across Clifton, but a further kick in size is due this evening to 2-3ft. SE sea breezes have developed though so conditions aren't too great.

This week (Mar 10 - 13)

This morning's SW groundswell pulse was generated by a polar front on Friday, but a secondary stronger and longer lasting system pushed in over an already active sea state, generating a better W/SW groundswell pulse that's due later today, peaking tomorrow morning.

We should see good 2-3ft surf off this pulse tomorrow morning, easing a touch into the afternoon and further from 2ft Wednesday morning.

A reinforcing W/SW groundswell is due into Thursday and Friday, generated by weaker but broad frontal activity pushing under the country from today through Thursday. The morning should offer 2ft sets with bigger surf due into the evening before easing from 2ft+ Friday morning.

Winds are looking great all week with persistent offshore N/NW to NW winds for the most part besides Thursday which will see a W/SW change push through mid-late morning.

This weekend onwards (Mar 14 onwards)

Saturday morning should see Friday's swell easing from 1-2ft or so, but a new SW groundswell is due Sunday, building to 2ft through the day. This will be generated by a relatively weak polar front pushing up towards us Saturday before passing under us early Sunday.

Beyond this there's nothing too major on the cards besides a couple of small SW pulses mid next week, so make the most of this week's swells.
