Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Wed May 1st)

This week and next week (May1-May10)

Central QLD:SE surge brings more swell into this weekend

Surf building into the weekend.

Clean lines for the dawny

A monster high (1042hPa) is slowly inching east well south of the Bight, with s S-SE flow anchored along the entire Eastern Seaboard. Troughs off the North Coast and inland will add instability to the onshore flow. We’ll see short range swells build from the  E/SE in the 2-3ft range at most places as the windfield extends through the Coral Sea (see below).

Expect fun surf from this source through Fri into the weekend. 

Into next week and we’ll see more of the same as another surge fills the Coral Sea early next week, holding or even rebuilding wave heights from Tues.

In other words an extended run of fun surf ahead.

Check back Fri for the latest.
