Central QLD: Easing swells becoming tiny mid week

Just rideable on the low tides.

Still the odd wave about

No change to the outlook. High pressure is moving eastwards, dragging the trade fetch with it. Weak high pressure moves into the Tasman later this week. No major swells this week, so we’ll be relying on our persistent trade-swell, which looks to ease back to tiny/flat mid-week as the fetch retreats eastwards.

Get in while you can in the next day or two because tiny/flat surf is established by Wed.

We’ll see that persist through right through the weekend and into next week. 

We may see a new trade flow develop late next week and even a potential low off the QLD coast is on the cards. Low confidence in those scenarios due to the long lead time.

Check back Wed for the latest.
