A sub-tropical low north of the North Island scooted away to the SE over the weekend and as a result the long range E/SE swell is likely to be closer to 1-2ft than 3ft with just the occ bigger set across open Burnett coast exposures.

As mentioned on Wed, we should see the extended flat spell broken next week, not in spectacular fashion, but with some small, rideable days. A trough may develop in the Coral Sea, focussing E/NE winds into it, and supplying CQ with some small rideable surf.

Models are also suggesting a deep sub-tropical low in Tongan longitudes right on the edge of the swell window (see below), which looks to supply some long period E/SE swell through Wed into Fri.

No change to the outlook with low pressure in the Tasman and no swell generating winds for CQ.

A trough developing on Thurs/Fri should see some small E swell develop later Fri and extend into Sat.

There is a sliver of hope if a trough deepens off the Fraser Coast Thurs before moving south. That may see a small bump in swell later Thurs into Fri.

The high is generating E’ly tradewinds in the Coral Sea with a fun sized surf running across CQ and expected to last into the weekend.

Tradewinds in the Coral Sea generate small swells this week and through the second half of the week we should see a small boost in size as the fetch migrates southwards and squares up more SE of New Caledonia.

By Thurs we should start seeing slightly bigger E’ly tradeswell from a fetch developing next week in the Coral Sea.
