Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Mon Nov 25th)

This week and next week (Nov25-Dec6)

Central QLD: Surf pattern continues

Plenty of small, fun days ahead

Very rideable with plenty more to come

Synoptically we are in a typical summer pattern as we head into the last week of spring. High pressure remains a constant in the Tasman, with a reinforcing cell ready to slide under Tasmania late week. A heat low over NW Australia and trough are linked to a cut-off low in the Bight which gets squeezed out by high pressure.  As a result workable trade swells for the sub-tropics continue through this week. 

Next week looks similar with a weak high with slack pressure gradients maintains a light onshore flow and small E’ly swells typical of summer look to hold a just rideable signal in the 2ft range.

We’ll take a fresh look at it on Wed but for now, short term looks the most robust.

Seeya Wed.
