Tradewinds start to thicken up from the Coral Sea into the Northern Tasman so we should see some E/SE swell start to build, possibly as early as Thurs.

We’ll see a new high move into the Tasman next week with healthier looking tradewind flow in the Coral Sea.

Further ahead and we should see high pressure become slow moving in the Tasman next week. A moderate trade-flow looks to set up in the Coral Sea, with workable trade-wind swells across CQ for the second half of next week. Either way, nothing dramatic in the tropics on the radar, so we’ll come back Wed and see how it’s looking.

Not much else on the radar after that- looks like a very quiet start to Autumn with some small/tiny days to end next week and enter the first weekend of March.

E’ly winds continue into next week, through this period and in fact most of next week we’ll continue to see pulsey E’ly swells coming off the deep E’ly fetch.

Multiple cells of reinforcing high pressure then one by one move into the Tasman, maintaining a weak ridge up the NSW Coast and a deep E’ly flow through the South Pacific and Eastern Coral Sea, with resulting E’ly swells favouring the sub-tropics for size, with a rebuild in size expected later this week.

Large high in the Tasman directing plenty of E’ly-SE’ly tradewinds through the Coral Sea and South Pacific slot. Typical summer wind pattern with E-E/SE winds in the sub-tropics.

The E’ly-SE’ly fetch gets reinforced later Sat by a new high pressure ridge squeezing up against a tropical low hovering NW of New Caledonia so we should see surf start to build again through Sun.

A semi-stationary area of low pressure in the Coral Sea is anchoring a broad trade-wind flow with an extended tradeswell event ahead.

The low sits semi-stationary new New Caledonia from today, anchoring a tradewinf flow in the Coral Sea that will provide an extended period of fun waves for CQ, especially spots open to swells through the Breaksea Spit- Capricorn Channel swell window.
