As the ridge then strengthens into Wednesday we’ll see a concurrent increase in short-tending-mid range SE swell.

Wave heights will slowly ease all weekend, and with winds out of the north your best options will be south of the border at exposed south swell magnets.

Today’s SE swell will initially ease back in size, and ahead of the change we’ll see light to moderate NW winds, so there’ll be great waves across the beaches.

Across SE Qld, winds will be ideal for the points for the next few days but the strong southerly component will severely restrict wave heights.

Also in the mix across SE Qld will be a local E/SE swell from the fetch right on our doorstep (generating the locally breezey conditions).

I have no doubt that Severe Tropical Cyclone Gita is going to become Exhibit A in a meteorological course module at some unsuspecting university down the track.

Yeah, this is as high as I've ever called for this region but it's hard to look at the synoptics and find a reason not to - in fact given the lack of analogous swell events to work off, this prediction may even be somewhat conservative.

STC Gita is a very large, dangerous system that will likely reach Cat 5 this evening and persist at this strength for the next few days.
