The resulting high pressure ridge is leading to deep onshore flows and a constant steady state fetch in the Coral Sea which is producing fun waves across CQ this week.

The high becomes even more slow moving as it approaches Tasmania so we’re looking at S-SE flow over the weekend. And with winds in the Coral Sea, plenty of E/SE swell.

A monster high (1037hPa) moves into the Bight tomorrow and slowly weakens as it enters the Tasman on the weekend, bringing SE winds into the Coral Sea and holding a small signal of SE-E/SE swell that will hold just rideable surf.

Smaller surf than indicated on Fri due to the structure, strength and positioning of the Coral Sea low.
