Next week looks a slightly better bet. Looking to the north a weak monsoonal low looks to form off the North QLD Coast and drift into the Coral Sea.

An infeed into the low is better aimed at SEQLD so we are only seeing tiny surf in CQ. That tiny signal then eases right back through this week to surf less than 1ft.

At present these areas create weak low pressure off the CQ coast, that may see some slight E swell into the weekend.

Weak high pressure in the Tasman is holding a very weak fetch of SE winds in the Coral Sea which is adding minor amounts of energy to a tradeswell on it’s last legs.

Once the new high sets up shop in the Tasman we’ll see a weak E’ly flow set up in the Coral Sea which will generate a tiny, just rideable surf into the weekend.

High pressure is moving eastwards, dragging the trade fetch with it. Weak high pressure moves into the Tasman later this week. No major swells this week, so we’ll be relying on our persistent trade-swell, which looks to ease back to tiny/flat mid-week as the fetch retreats eastwards.

High pressure remains a constant in the Tasman, with a reinforcing cell ready to slide under Tasmania late week. A heat low over NW Australia and trough are linked to a cut-off low in the Bight which gets squeezed out by high pressure. As a result workable trade swells for the sub-tropics continue through this week.
