Through the weekend, short range ESE swell from the tradewind fetch will supply the dominant swell trains, especially in CQLD.

Following that an active tradewind pattern in the Coral Sea supplies another round of E swell for the region, with a trough of low pressure expected to form off the Capricorn Coast and energise further the E/SE winds off the CQ coast.

More E swell and SE winds into the medium term as the high sets up another trade flow through the Coral Sea. This will see increasing surf through the CQ region from Fri becoming chunky next week.

Further north an interior upper trough and potential coastal trough/surface low will combine to drive an intense E/NE to NE wind flow through the Coral and Northern Tasman Sea, generating a large swell for the CQ coast.

High pressure is sitting over the interior of Central NSW, leading to SE wind conditions, with a trade flow in the South Pacific supplying a steady drumbeat of fun, mid-sized E’ly swell.
