Southern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Friday 13th October)

Best Days: Saturday, Sunday morning, Monday morning

Recap

A small S/SW swell possible for yesterday morning wasn't reported with tiny surf continuing, while this morning was still tiny and around 1ft.

We should of definitely seen an increase in size this afternoon from a fetch of W/SW gales passing under us this morning.

This weekend and next week (Oct 14 - 20)

Right behind today's mid-latitude front passing under us, a better positioned fetch of polar W/SW gales will generate a good SW groundswell pulse for tomorrow, easing through Sunday.

Clifton should hang around 2-3ft most of tomorrow, easing back from 2ft on the sets Sunday morning.

Conditions will be great tomorrow with a N/NW tending variable breeze out of the W/NW, and then NW tending SE breezes Sunday.

Into Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, a small reinforcing W/SW swell is expected from a pre-frontal fetch of W/NW gales passing through our western swell window tomorrow.

Clifton should hold 1-2ft sets into the evening, easing from a similar size Monday with N/NW tending NE winds.

As touched on last update, beyond Monday there's no swell at all due across the coast as a large blocking high and then mid-latitude storms move in across the country next week. Into next weekend we may see this activity move across to us, but more on this Monday. Have a great weekend!
