A long cradling fetch of E/SE Tradewinds forms in that general region, which is likely to be a more reliable swell producer, especially for the more exposed breaks on the Burnett coast.
A hybrid tropical low is now located E/SE of Cairns and moving SE, energising a long, broad fetch of SE winds as it squeezes onto a supporting high pressure system in the Tasman Sea
Friday looks to be the best day from Yeppoon southwards. The low will be intensifying as it drifts level with the Capricorn Coast

Next week offers a major pattern change for the QLD coast as a dominant high pressure system drifting E of Tasmania sets up a strong high pressure ridge along the coast.
