The headline news is TC Dovi, which formed north-east of New Caledonia Wed a’noon and is moving SW at about 12 knots inside the Coral Sea. At 5am this morning TC Dovi was about 730 nautical miles E/NE of the Queensland border. That puts it in our swell window and although Dovi is currently Cat 3 it’s surf potential is limited by the compact fetch and expected increased speed of movement over the next 24 hrs.

A broad region of low pressure in the central/northeastern Tasman Sea is maintaining easterly thru’ south-easterly gales (via two seperate fetches) aimed mainly towards Southern NSW, but a healthy percentage is pushing SE energy up into Northern NSW.

A strong monsoonal surge pushing off the tropics into the Coral Sea is super-charged by the vorticity created by the monster high pressure ridge. Models now seem in broad agreement that a large, dual-centred, low pressure gyre forms across the Coral Sea/South Pacific and into the North Tasman Sea.

This extended run of quality point break surf means there's a chance for the crowds to spread out over the course of the week which, combined with a consistent, super-charged trade swell event, should allow a (relatively) healthy wave count for all and sundry.
