Southern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 8th June)

Best Days: Thursday morning keen surfers, Sunday, Monday onwards

Recap

Sloppy tiny 1ft waves yesterday and then today a better inconsistent W/SW groundswell to 2ft on the sets with offshore winds.

This week and weekend (Jun 9 – 12)

Today's W/SW groundswell should ease back through tomorrow, with 1-2ft sets likely to still be on offer early, fading through the day and tiny Friday. You'll have to surf through the morning tomorrow though as an onshore change is due through the mid-late morning.

Friday afternoon's expected increase in SW swell has been downgraded but the larger swell event for the weekend is still on track.

A strengthening polar front is due to fire up to our south-west, south of WA tomorrow afternoon, projecting a fetch of SW gales up and into us through Friday and Saturday morning.

A strong SW groundswell is expected, building Saturday and peaking overnight. Clifton should build from 2ft or so through the morning to a larger 3-4ft+ later in the day/dark.

A peak is expected overnight before easing back from 3-4ft Sunday.

Conditions Saturday when the swell kicks will be average with a strong SW'ly, with NW offshores Sunday.

Next week onwards (Jun 13 onwards)

A low point in swell activity is due Monday but from Tuesday we've got a great run of swell on the cards. A series of strong back to back polar fronts will generate moderate levels of swell along with favourable NW to W'ly winds most of next week.

We'll take a closer look at this on Friday though.
