Into next week and things get a bit more juicy. A high pressure ridge and weak but long tradewind fetch extends out through the Coral Sea towards New Caledonia later this weekend and into Mon.

All this is too far south and behind the curve of the QLD Coast and Fraser Island to produce any surf for the CQ region, so we’ll see the tiny surf that was on offer today contract back to near flatness for the rest of the week.

For the rest of the week, we’ll see a monster low in the Tasman Sea, but this will be well out of the CQ swell window, leading to tiny/flat surf and light winds for the rest of this week.

This ridge of high pressure builds a fetch of Tradewinds through the Coral Sea over the coming 24-48 hrs and while the troughiness off the NSW coast disrupts the tradewind flow it should be sufficient in width and strength to see 1ft surf build later Sat, building further Sun into the 1-2ft range.

High pressure is weak and mobile at the moment, restricting trade-wind flows in the Coral Sea.

That story continues through the week, with a breakdown of Tradewinds in the Coral Sea and light/variable winds. Great fishing weather for the reef, bad for surf.

The ridge maintaining the SE flow which has been maintaining fun waves for the CQ region is slowly but surely drying up, with a total failure of Tradewinds expected next week, leading to a period of tiny/flat surf.

A broad, angular area of low pressure in the Northern Coral Sea, extending southwards is maintaining good windspeeds in the tradewind fetch at the moment and that is leading to surf punching slightly above it’s weight.

The sheer longevity of the wind field maintain a rideable signal of surf for most days this week.

That will set up a fresh ridge of high pressure along the f/cast region over the weekend.
