In the tropical South Pacific an area of convection is currently organising and deepening into a tropical depression and potential TC east of the Solomon Islands. This depression or TC is expected to race through the swell window and send a small pulse of swell our way.

No great change to the f/cast. A large (1030hPa) high near New Zealand is continuing to direct tradewinds through the Coral Sea, with the New Caledonia region being the strongest wind area.

A slowly developing tradewind flow in the Coral Sea will see a small E’ly swell signal become workable through the week, with signs we’ll see a perk up in size late this weekend and early next week.

Once the tradewind flow sets up early next week as the blocking high enters the Tasman we should start to see an increase in tradewind swell, likely by Tues at the latest.

As the strong high moves E of Tasmania on Sun we'll see tradewinds start to build across the Coral Sea.

This swell energy isn’t well aimed for for CQ but the developing surface low is still strong enough to send swell north of Fraser Island.

The expected strong SE surge is captured by a trough and deepens into a surface low on Fri with small SE swell expected for the weekend in the 2ft range under fresh/strong S/SE winds.

Much better odds for surf as a strong SE surge builds up the coast Fri, with a broad SE fetch in the Coral Sea over next weekend and into early next week. That should see rideable surf develop Fri and hold in the fun-sized range into the weekend and potentially early week after.

The synoptic set-up looks quite unseasonal at the moment with a 1031 hPa high drifting over NSW and a 1007 hPa low slow moving in the Tasman west of the North Island. The SE surge from this high has generated some small, scrappy surf. Get in quickly for this swell, we’ll see some more small surf tomorrow then easing swells for Fri and back to flat for the weekend.
