Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Wed Mar 12)

This week and next week (Mar12-Mar21)

Central QLD: A few small waves about on low tides 

Just surfable on low tides

A new high has moved into the Tasman, quite strong at present (1031hPa) but it weakens rapidly as it moves NE through the Tasman for the rest of this week. It looks more like a weak spring pattern after the endless trades of the last month.  A weak trade flow in the Coral Sea now only looks capable of generating minor background E’ly swells which look to persist into next week.

Weak trade flow supplies small waves on low tides

We should see fun waves up to the weekend, easing into early next week before rebuilding on the back of a SE surge Wed next week.

We’ll see how that looks on Fri- Seeya then.
