Please be aware
Wind and wave forecasts are averages. Wind gusts can be 40 per cent stronger than the forecast, and stronger still in squalls and thunderstorms. Maximum waves can be twice the forecast height.
A cold front and low lie to the east of Tasmania, and a high over the Bight extends a weak ridge over the state. This pattern is combining to produce a cold southwesterly flow which will moderate and tend westerly, as a weaker front passes to the south during today. A westerly stream will continue on Monday with a weak embedded trough to cross Tasmania during the morning, then freshen and tend northwesterly on Tuesday as a cold front approaches from the west.
