Southern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Wednesday 31st January)

Best Days: Early each morning over the coming period besides Sunday

Recap

Tiny onshore surf yesterday, while this morning we've got clean conditions but no decent swell.

An onshore change has since moved through providing some building windswell.

Today’s Forecaster Notes are brought to you by Rip Curl

This week and weekend (Feb 1 - 4)

Today's change should kick up an increase in S/SW swell to 2ft, but with poor conditions, easing from a small 1-2ft tomorrow morning.

Conditions are looking clean again with a morning W/NW breeze, tending SW mid-late morning.

Another weak front linked to this change is expected to keep the surf around a weak 1-2ft on Friday with a dawn W/NW'ly, shifting SW'ly shortly thereafter.

Similar sized 2ft sets should be seen Saturday morning from a weak polar front moving through our swell window currently and again a morning W/NW breeze should be seen.

Longer term into Sunday afternoon and Monday some slightly stronger S/SW swell should be seen from a good polar frontal system firing up south of us over the weekend and projecting north into the Tasman Sea.

This will generate good sized surf through Monday and Tuesday that looks to be around 2ft+, with dicey winds on the former and better offshores on the later, but we'll have a closer look at this Friday.
