There's a couple of weeks of swell on the cards starting from Wednesday with good conditions from Thursday.
Weak but persistent tradewinds in the Coral Sea should hold surf just rideable on low tides. If the retrograding low comes off as modelled we’ll see a nice boost in size from Fri into the weekend.
By Sat morning we should see a surface low hugging the coast and tracking southwards down the NSW. A broad infeed across SE and NE quarters of the low will see a range of swells trains incoming over the weekend, with plenty of size expected.
The coming period looks sub-par swell wise with nothing of significance due.
A complex inland trough low tied to tropical sources exits the coast as a strong high moves into the Bight. Following that a coastal trough in the Northern Tasman then deepens, likely into a surface low which may drift southwards bringing E swells to the entire region, possibly followed by a return S swell as the low gets captured by an approaching front.
The coming week is mostly average but there are a couple of windows to work around.
The coming period is generally poor, only improving later in the weekend, with better potential next week.

High pressure in the Tasman is maintaining a ridge along the QLD coast with fun sized surf across the CQ region under mod/fresh SE winds.
It’s quite a bland synoptic outlook with a large area of high pressure moving into the Tasman and becoming slow moving as it weakens. That is forcing fronts well to the south and away from the southern swell window. Not much change for the Easter outlook. Just tiny surf is expected both days and extending into Easter Mon.
