We’re in a typical winter style pattern with the high pressure belt up over the continent and any SE winds are now confined to the tropics.

Weak high pressure is drifting up over NSW/QLD with a low in the Tasman moving away to the east as it weakens. No signicifant swell generating winds in the Coral Sea so surf is tiny/flat and likely to remain that way right through the weekend and next week.

Winds in the Coral Sea feeding into the Coral Sea trough generate some fun waves for CQ. Those waves should continue into Tues before easing Wed as the trough/low dips southwards.

The initial infeed into the Coral Sea trough provides quality E/NE swell for CQ building Mon and holding Tues before easing.

In the eastern swell window a massive high east of New Zealand and tropical depression in Tongan longitudes is reaching peak intensity and expected to send some meaningful E’ly groundswell towards the eastern seaboard, making landfall over the weekend and next week.

Surf rebuilds next week from a combination of Tradewinds as a new high pressure ridge builds over the weekend and long range E swell from a South Pacific low.

High pressure across the interior of NSW will be moving across Southern NSW into the Tasman, with a trade fetch currently anchored by a small low sliding off to the SE over the weekend. That will maintain fun, rideable waves across CQ.

We’ll see rideable surf develop through tomorrow and extend into the weekend under SE winds. Rideable,fun surf should persist into early next week before easing.

E’ly winds in the Coral Sea should still see surf develop across CQ from Wed, with rideable surf through to the end of the week.

On it’s own that will see a broad E’ly fetch develop likely in the New Caledonia quadrant, extending into the South Pacific slot. GFS adds to that recipe for a round of (sizey) trade swell with a deepening trough in the Coral Sea which spawns a surface low mid week, currently modelled to track southwards into the Tasman.
