Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Mon June 24th)

This weekend and next week (June 24-July 5)

Central QLD: A couple of just rideable days ahead

Almost rideable- not dead flat

All the action is in the Bight at the moment, with a deep slow moving  cut-off low. The Tasman Sea, by contrast, is looking very mellow with a weak high pressure cell over NSW and a few decaying remnants of the long lasting Tasman Low sitting near New Zealand. A sub-tropical low on the other side of the North Island is completely blocked from our swell window by that Island.

Mostly tiny surf into Tues. A sub-tropical low north of the North Island scooted away to the SE over the weekend and as a result the long range E/SE swell is likely to be closer to 1-2ft than 3ft with just the occ bigger set across open Burnett coast exposures.

That swell should gently pulse on lower tides from late Tues through Wed/Thurs.

By Fri and into the weekend it will be back to tiny/flat.

Lifeless Coral Sea next week= flat spell

Nothing much on the radar for next week so expect tiny/flat surf into the first week of July.

Let’s see how it looks on Wed.

Seeya then.
