By the weekend we’ll see a new high pressure cell in the Tasman and a persistent E/SE trade flow developing off the top of the high.

Trades looks to develop later in the weekend and early next week, although major models are still divergent over how strong they are. Under an optimistic scenario we should start to see small E’ly tradeswell build in this weekend and persist at low levels next week.

A weak monsoonal low in the Coral Sea is drifting towards New Caledonia and weakening.

Over the weekend the monsoonal low moves out into the Coral Sea with a weak fetch of winds along the southern flank. That fetch shield be enough to generate some small E’ly swell later Sun into Mon.

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.
