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

Another reinforcing high cell moves in from the Bight later this week, with a rebuild in SE winds better placed for swell generation in CQ.
CQ will see another slight build in fun SE-E/SE swell from mid week as SE winds rebuild in the Coral Sea.
A trough in the jet stream and low in the Tasman will disrupt this flow and we’ll see a few tiny days as a result early next week.
That will see SE winds for sub-tropical areas with a small, building trade swell to ride.
We’ll see some small SE swell as the new high pressure ridge builds windfield in the Coral Sea and Northern Tasman but this will be smaller and weaker than previous swells of this ilk.
A broad windfield in the Coral Sea is maintaining fun waves and this pattern will extend over the weekend.
The resulting high pressure ridge is leading to deep onshore flows and a constant steady state fetch in the Coral Sea which is producing fun waves across CQ this week.
As the SE surge takes hold we’ll see a further increase in swell, possibly not until Wed now with fun surf extending right into the weekend.
The high becomes even more slow moving as it approaches Tasmania so we’re looking at S-SE flow over the weekend. And with winds in the Coral Sea, plenty of E/SE swell.
