Southern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Monday 5th September)

Best Days: Tuesday, Wednesday, early Thursday

Recap

Tiny clean 1-1.5ft waves on Saturday while Sunday saw a good increase in new swell with 1-2ft sets, building through the day along with favourable winds. A peak in size was seen this morning with strong clean 2-3ft waves across Clifton.

This week (Sep 6 - 9)

We should continue to see plenty of fun waves over the coming days, with a reinforcing pulse of W/SW groundswell for later today, easing back from 2-3ft tomorrow morning, ahead of a new SW pulse later in the day.

This pulse has been generated by a polar front to our south-west today, and will be helped along with another front passing under us tomorrow.

Good 2-3ft sets are again due late in the day, easing from a similar size Wednesday morning.

Conditions should be clean most of tomorrow with a NW tending W/NW breeze, and then N/NW tending fresh N/NE winds Wednesday.

Thursday will see fading 1-2ft sets under fresh N'ly winds.

This weekend onwards (Sep 10 onwards)

Tiny waves are due Saturday, but from Sunday onwards were set to see a prolonged run of surf.

This will be due to the storm track moving from the Indian Ocean over to our south-west from the weekend, with front after front firing up in our south-western swell window.

We'll have a closer look at this Wednesday though.
