Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Fri June 14th)

This weekend and next week (June14-June 21)

Central QLD: Winter flat spell ahead

Plenty more of this ahead

We have a Tasman Sea positioned node of the Long Wave Trough ready to steer a strong cold front well into sub-tropical latitudes in the Tasman and Southern Coral Seas. Following that a secondary front coalesces with the primary front to form a complex Tasman low which is expected to occupy the Tasman for a meaningful period of time, even retrograding back towards the East Coast over the weekend. The result will be tiny/flat surf for the CQ coast into the weekend and all of next week under current modelling.

Low in the Tasman but the Coral Sea remains lifeless
