Southern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 25th November)

Best Days: Early Friday, Saturday morning

Recap

Another fresh pulse of swell delivered 3-4ft sets across Clifton yesterday with offshore winds all day, easing back to the 3ft range this morning as good conditions continued.

This week and weekend (Nov 24 - 29)

The surf is expected to be smaller again tomorrow and more in the 2ft+ range, but an afternoon kick in new W/SW swell looks to have been downgraded a little and shifted back to Friday.

This is due to the final front in the strong progression we've seen all week pushing more into South Australia and less favourably through our swell window.

We should still see 2ft to occasionally 3ft sets Friday morning when the swell peaks, easing through the afternoon and further down from 2ft Saturday morning, tiny Sunday.

Conditions tomorrow are looking dicey with a fresh and gusty W/SW'ly likely, with only a slim chance for an early W'ly.

Friday looks better with an early W/NW'ly more than likely before shifting back to the W/SW through the day. Each morning over the weekend will be clean ahead of afternoon sea breezes.

Next week onwards (Nov 30 onwards)

Unfortunately tiny surf is due to kick off next week, with a very slight kick in long-range SW swell due Wednesday but only to the 1-2ft range. We'll have a closer look at this on Friday though.
