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 high centred near New Zealand and an approaching trough and cold front are directing a locally warm north to northeasterly flow over Tasmania. The trough will slowly cross Tasmania during Friday with winds to tend light and variable later as the cold front approaches the west. The front will cross Tasmania Saturday morning, as winds tend southerly, with a high to slowly move south of the Bight during the day. The high will move to the west of Tasmania during Sunday as a low deepens to the east of the state and the southerly flow continues.
