Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Fri Feb 7th)

This weekend and next week (Feb5-Feb14)

Central QLD: Upgrade for next week as trade-winds rebuild

Plenty of fun waves in the recent past, easing into the weekend, rebuilding next week.

Still loads of fun waves

We’ll see E’ly swells ease over the weekend as the current trade fetch breaks down.

New high pressure moves SE of Tasmania to start next week and compared to Wed’s notes it’s looking stronger and slower moving, which is good news for surf potential, especially medium term as it anchors low pressure drifting down from the tropics into the wide open South Pacific slot.

Surfwise E’ly swells from trade-winds off the top of the high will hold show more energy Mon, up a notch through Tues as the general wind field in the Southern Coral re-strengthens and more mid period swells make landfall from the stalled progression of lows in the South Pacific. 

Tradewinds rebuild next week with more surf to come

There should be plenty of fun waves through next week now, likely easing into the weekend.

Make sure you check back Mon for latest updates and until then, have a great weekend!
