Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Wed May 22nd)

This weekend and next week (May22-May31)

Central QLD: Small waves this week next week looking better now 

Tiny waves should boost a little to end the week.

Tiny waves should build a touch tomorrow

Dominant high pressure has ever so slowly drifted NE up over the Victorian/NSW interior, SE winds building 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.

In the short run we’ll see a minor increase in size through tomorrow and holding into the weekend.

An easing trend early next week is reversed mid week.

High pressure finally moves into the Tasman early next week so we should see light winds to start the week.

Looks like fun trade swells from the E/NE from Thurs next week as high pressure moves into the Central Tasman, with a trade flow in the Coral Sea sending some small E-E/SE swell to the sub-tropics likely in the 2ft range.

Trade flow looks a little healthier next week

We’ll see how it’s looking on Fri.

Seeya then.
