More small NE windswell pulses on offer next week, but the zonal flow is expected to strafe Tasmania with strong and gusty W-W/NW winds for most of next week so surfing conditions will be rugged.

The cleaner conditions currently being seen are worth making the most of before the onshore winds and stormy surf returns.

A strong zonal pattern with embedded fronts and troughs is under the continent and moving eastwards. That pattern is briefly interrupted by a  trough and front today before resetting again over the weekend. No major swell sources on the radar so we’ll see if we can find anything flukey to work with.

We've got a shift in the swell and weather regime through next week, but ahead of that we've got a fun swell for Friday.
