Central QLD: Fun waves all week as tropical low drifts south

Plenty of fun waves today and all week.

An active monsoon pattern is seeing a tropical low drifting in the Coral Sea with a supporting high approaching New Zealand and a slow moving trough line just off the NSW Coast. The low is slow moving as it slides to the SE of New Caledonia and looks to be reinforced by a second tropical low budding off the monsoon trough in North QLD waters. We’ll see continuing E’ly swells from this source, as the system intensifies as it drifts through the South Pacific slot over the weekend.

Fun waves over the weekend with a slow easing into early next week.
