Southern Tasmania Surf Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Monday 4th November)

Best Days: No great days but try Thursday PM and Friday AM

Recap

A continuation of tiny surf with better waves on the East Coast.

This week and weekend (Nov 5 - 10)

We may see a slight increase in weak mid-period W/SW swell to 1-1.5ft tomorrow morning, offering waves for beginners and bigger boards. Conditions will be great with a N/NW tending W/NW breeze.

As touched on last update, a strong low come mid-latitude frontal system will generate a great fetch of gale-force W/SW winds but too north of our swell window to generate any real swell.

The initial stages of the low in our far swell window however was south enough, producing a very inconsistent long-period W/SW groundswell for Thursday afternoon, easing Friday.

A small 1-2ft wave may be seen and winds unfortunately look to become a little average, swinging from NW to W/NW. Friday may see similar 1-2ft waves with a morning N/NW breeze ahead of a S/SW change.

Into the weekend we're due to see the tail end of the frontal progression moving in through the week pushing up and over us. This will generate some windy onshore surf Sunday and Monday, fading before cleaning up.

Longer term we may see a bit more activity later next week but more on this Wednesday.
