No change to the f/cast. Small background energy from the South Pacific holds fun surf next week with a small pulse on the weekend.

Surf should remain rideable at exposed locations as a long persistent tradewind fetch in the South Pacific sends E-E/SE swell which makes it’s way through the Capricorn Channel.

Surf is now declining back to tiny levels with just minor levels of background swell expected from tradewinds in the South Pacific- around a foot at the most exposed Burnett breaks, tiny elsewhere.

As expected a monster high (1035hPa) is currently drifting into the Tasman Sea, roughly equidistant between the South Coast and Tasmania. A very firm ridge is established from the Mid North Coast right up to tropical QLD, with weaker pressure gradients along the temperate NSW coast.

The blocking trough pattern breaks down next week as a very strong high moves into the Tasman with a very firm ridge up along the sub-tropical QLD coast ( the so-called Quidge).

Neither of these fetches are well aimed for CQ but small amounts of ESE swell should be in the water by Tues.

Next week is looking much more dynamic with possibilities for some quality E/SE swell on the radar for breaks with exposure through the Capricorn Channel.
