A troughy pattern exists through the Coral Sea to Northern Tasman down to the South Coast with the remnants of TC 10P (named by JTWC but remained a cyclone for less than a day) drifting in a SW direction from out near New Caledonia as a weak sub-tropical low.  A diffuse monsoon low in the Coral Sea remains weak and is expected to head back inland towards the North tropical coast this week.

No great change to the outlook with plenty of rideable surf expected. High pressure remains anchored in places at Tasmanian latitudes with reinforcing cells maintaining a high pressure ridge along the QLD coast. Abutting this ridge is a series of monsoonal lows, which are enhancing windspeeds through the CQ swell window.

Nothing complicated about the f/cast for CQ over the weekend and into next week. The Coral Sea proximate to CQ develops a 15-20knot tradewind coverage today and extending into next week and that will see a steady drumbeat of small, fun waves.

We currently have a weak, troughy pattern in the Tasman Sea, with continuing instability across the tropics in the wake of an active, monsoon pattern. High pressure is expected to drift south of Tasmania this week, with a typical Summer wind pattern becoming established. Remnants of low pressure near New Zealand are offering up minor fetches out of Cook Strait (currently) and near the South Island which are outside the CQ swell window.
