The high is generating E’ly tradewinds in the Coral Sea with a fun sized surf running across CQ and expected to last into the weekend.
Primary tabs
Tradewinds in the Coral Sea generate small swells this week and through the second half of the week we should see a small boost in size as the fetch migrates southwards and squares up more SE of New Caledonia.
By Thurs we should start seeing slightly bigger E’ly tradeswell from a fetch developing next week in the Coral Sea.
Another reinforcing high cell moves in from the Bight later this week, with a rebuild in SE winds better placed for swell generation in CQ.
CQ will see another slight build in fun SE-E/SE swell from mid week as SE winds rebuild in the Coral Sea.
A trough in the jet stream and low in the Tasman will disrupt this flow and we’ll see a few tiny days as a result early next week.
That will see SE winds for sub-tropical areas with a small, building trade swell to ride.
We’ll see some small SE swell as the new high pressure ridge builds windfield in the Coral Sea and Northern Tasman but this will be smaller and weaker than previous swells of this ilk.
A broad windfield in the Coral Sea is maintaining fun waves and this pattern will extend over the weekend.
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.
