Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Mon Aug 19th)

This week and next week (Aug19-Aug 30)

Central QLD: Tiny to start, becoming rideable from mid-week

Not much over the weekend, still tiny now.

The weekends front and trough has cleared the coast, with the last vestiges of the trough tipping NENSW.  High pressure systems are looking weak and mobile as befits the changing seasons, tracking NE into the Tasman and bringing a N’ly flow across sub-tropical to temperate regions but holding enough strength in the Coral Sea to generate some small rideable waves from mid-week.

Weak trade flow generates just rideable surf from Wed a'noon

Tiny surf but by Wed we should start to see some small, just rideable waves, building a little into Thurs and extending into Fri before easing into the weekend.

Check back Wed for the latest.
