A broad fetch of easterly winds through the lower Coral Sea associated with a Tasman high and a small tropical depression are generating an easterly swell that’s expected to reach a peak on Thursday, before easing into Friday.

We’re looking at a slow increase in size over the coming days towards a plateau in and around very late Wednesday through Thursday.

Plenty of decent windows of good conditions with a lully E'ly swell, initially reaching a peak around Sun but with more swell due through all of next week (I'm yet to see a definitive break in the pattern).

We’ll see steady surf from the east every day, so you’ll just have to work around the local winds.

From late Monday or Tuesday onwards, we will also start to see a building E/NE swell originating from a broadening E'ly fetch around the southern flank of TD04F (a tropical depression currently delivering a deluge to Fiji) which may be upgraded to a Category 1 Tropical Cyclone this evening.

Although the ridge responsible for our small trade swell of the last few days has slowly retreated eastwards, the models are maintaining small levels of east swell from Thursday right through into the weekend.

There’s a couple of interesting features on the charts but ultimately we’re not looking at any notable surf throughout the next four or five days.

SE Qld will see a small building trade swell, from a ridge that’s expected to strengthen through the Coral Sea. Across Northern NSW, we have a few days of south swell to look forward to.
