Surf should ease early next week but another blocking dual-centred high in the Tasman next week looks to re-strengthen tradewinds in the Coral Sea with wave heights increasing later next week.

A sub-tropical low SE of Fiji is sending small waves to open stretches of the Burnett Coast with this swell source expected to continue as the system slowly drifts through the South Pacific.

A fetch well to the SE of Fiji this week will supply a small, background signal of E swell from Wed for those spots with open access to the E.

There’s just enough strength in the tradewind flow through the central Coral Sea to see some small surf develop across the CQ coast. That should hold surf into Sat before easing.

High pressure systems are looking weak and mobile as befits the changing seasons, tracking NE into the Tasman and bringing a N’ly flow across sub-tropical to temperate regions but holding enough strength in the Coral Sea to generate some small rideable waves from mid-week.

Our summer-style swell producing pattern has broken down and we’re seeing surf ease into the weekend, becoming tiny into next week as high pressure moves towards Tasmania.

A summer style pattern is seeing tropical moisture dragged down the East coast by a trough and deep E/NE-NE flow from a large high in the Tasman, generating large swells for Central QLD.

We have a strong (1033hPa) high in the Tasman, with a deep E’ly flow through the Coral Sea feeding into a coastal trough along the QLD coast. That trough is drawing down plenty of tropical moisture in the deep onshore flow, and generating sizey, stormy E’ly swells for the sub-tropics.
