Trade flows across the South Coral and Northern Tasman Sea won’t be particularly strong this week but the broad scale coverage of winds and an uptick in wind strengths in more proximate areas of the fetch Tues/Wed will be enough to see a modest building trend into Wed and beyond.

At 5am this morning TC Dovi was about 730 nautical miles E/NE of the Queensland border. Winds in the fetch are aimed away from the CQ coast, to targets further south, so the cyclone itself is not a swell source for the region.

That spells a bit of surf ahead. Firstly, from the high pressure ridge as it strengthens and generates a broad windfield of 20knot+ SE winds through the Coral Sea, adjacent to the CQ coastline.

An active sea state has now developed as 20-30 knot SE winds blanket the Central Coral Sea and that will see surf in the 2ft range continue through Sat, with slightly bigger 2-3ft surf on offer at the more exposed breaks with open Capricorn Channel exposure.
