A brief flush of E/SE winds in the Coral Sea Sun/Mon may supply some just rideable surf for CQ but expect marginal conditions.

Weak pressure gradients then occupy the Coral Sea through the mid week, offering up good conditions as a long range E swell makes landfall.

Through Mon we’ll see a slow building trend from the E/SE as swells fill in from a tropical depression drifting south from Fiji.

Our next swell comes as the fetch retreats eastwards and becomes intensified by a deepening trough of low pressure between Vanuatu and Fiji, which forms a broad surface which tracks southwards from later this week.

High pressure in the Tasman has maintained a better than expected tradeflow across the Coral Sea focussed SW of New Caledonia. That has seen fun waves across the weekend and we’ll see that surf pattern continue through to Wed at current levels.

We’ll see surf build on Mon as the next high pressure surge builds and extend into most of next week under SE-E winds.

There is some hope ahead as a new high moves into the Tasman Mon, and builds a ridge up the QLD coast. We should see surf build on Tues as SE winds increase, then maintain a fun sized surf as tradewinds develop through the Coral Sea.

A stronger high moves through the Bight over the weekend and looks to set-up a SE surge possibly as early as Mon. There is some model divergence leading to low confidence but all major models are suggesting SE winds building through the Coral Sea next week.

As a low sits off the SEQLD Coast over the weekend we’ll see a small signal of E/SE swell develop Sun at exposed spots north the Breaksea spit.

The strong high is the possible source of surf for CQ and at this stage we’ll see an increase in Coral Sea tradewinds through Tues/Wed, focussed in the Eastern area near New Caledonia. No great size is expected but we should see some tiny just rideable surf through Tues-Thurs on low tides.
