Plenty of large swell coming over the period, with an oversized and dangerous long period swell for next Monday.
With no significant sources of swell on the cards, we’ll be working around marginal windswells and funky winds.
Eastern Tasmania Forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Monday 8th September)
Best Days: Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning
Recap
Small levels of E'ly swell continued to provide 1-2ft waves across open beaches Saturday before finally fading away Sunday. Today the surf is tiny but a late increase in weak N/NE windswell should have been seen with freshening N/NE winds.
This week (Sep 9 - 12)
Southern Tasmania Forecast (issued Monday 8th September)
Best Days: Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Recap
A small increase in swell was seen Saturday to 1-2ft across Clifton, but a better pulse for Sunday came in a little under expectations early before filling in better through the afternoon. A drop back from 1-2ft has been seen this morning under favourable winds.
This week (Sep 7 - 12)
Very large stromy waves tomorrow, easing and improving Wednesday with offshores in Perth and Gero Thursday morning.
This event is expected to reach a peak overnight, and we’re actually looking at a brief wind of fun waves sometime on Wednesday morning, in conjunction with a front due to cross the coast.
Building swells all week, climaxing Thursday with average winds, easing Friday with offshores.
Give the next couple of days a miss and work around the large swell due Thursday and Friday.
Model data for this afternoon still has a 25-30kt S/SE fetch aimed up into the North Coast region, and it’ll supply plenty of swell for Saturday ahead of an easing trend into Sunday.
Fading E'ly swell over the weekend, new NE windswell for Tuesday.
