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 high pressure ridge to the north is responsible for a broad westerly flow across the state. The high will move east overnight allowing a cold front to pass over Tasmania on Thursday followed by a southwesterly flow ahead of an approaching ridge of high pressure. The flow is expected to weaken and turn northerly on Friday as the ridge moves eastwards across the state and towards the Tasman Sea. A low pressure system over the southern mainland moves near Tasmania on Saturday with a series of cold fronts to follow through to early next week.
