Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Wed July 10th)

This weekend and next week (July10-July 19)

Central QLD: Out of season E swell persists this week

Plenty of fun waves over the weekend continuing into this week.

Lots of swell for July

The monster high that was in the Bight last week is now in the Tasman and still dominating our local weather and surf conditions. An inland trough eventually clears the coast later Tues or Wed and the broad E’ly infeed into the trough transforms a typical but out of season tradewind fetch into a more broadscale “trough block” feature which will send swell to most of the Eastern Seaboard.

Broad coverage of tradewinds keeps surf humming until Fri

Fun waves persisting at current levels from the tradewinds and developing E’ly fetch right into Fri, before easing into the weekend as the fetch gets dragged to the south.

Into next week and we should see tiny/flat surf for most of next week. There is some chance of another SE surge and possible surf pattern developing later next week so tune in Wed and we’ll size it up.

Seeya then.

Wed Update: Plenty of fun waves into the weekend before E'ly fetch moves out of swell window.
