We’ve got a troughy, unstable synoptic pattern on our hands with monsoonal clouds and moisture extending from the Top End dawn to a trough off the NSW South Coast. Through the Coral Sea a NW monsoonal flow is bending from the tropics to become more N’ly. The upshot is more more tiny/flat surf for the CQ coast this week.
Small traces of E swell generated by fetches near the North Island supply some rideable surf if you can work around the shifty winds expected this week. A strong winter-calibre low becomes slow moving near Tasmania later this week bringing plenty of weather and S swell once it moves E of the state.
While today is a bit of a disappointment, there are fun surf days to come this week with a good swell for Wednesday.
We’ve got a troughy, unstable synoptic pattern on our hands with monsoonal clouds and moisture extending from the Top End dawn to a trough off the NSW South Coast. Weak pressure gradients look to be with us for a few days as the trough lingers about the NSW Central/Mid North Coast, possibly forming a small low. Small pulses of E swell generated by fetches near the North Island supply some fun sized surf if you can work around the shifty winds expected this week.
Great waves this afternoon on the Mid with deteriorating conditions mid-week along with further pulses of SW swell, large and stormy Friday.
We've got plenty of activity due this week, climaxing with a large SW groundswell and return to winteresque conditions and weather late week.

That's leading to continuing light winds in the Coral Sea and tiny surf. Models are suggesting a minor increase in SE swell tomorrow as the trade flow perks up just a notch but any increase will be very minor so keep expectations low with knee high waves expected at best. Maybe just surfable at exposed breaks.
No change to the weekend f/cast. As high pressure drifts across the Tasman we get a rapid intensification of NE winds in the swell window leading to a building trend in NE windswell through Sat up to 3ft through the a’noon.
The weekend will be good for beginners tomorrow morning with better swells and windows for a surf through next week.
