Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Fri 13th June)

This weekend and next week (June14-Jun22)

Central QLD:Possible pumping surf next week

Tiny/flat surf this weekend and into early next week.

From there we have interesting developments in the eastern swell window. The crux of that is strengthening high pressure near New Zealand and then in the Tasman. 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 (see below). 

Possible source for pumping surf next week

If that comes to pass we’re looking at a significant swell from the E/NE though E  next week into the weekend.

Size may reach that 4-5ft mark under the optimum scenario. Expect surf to build through Tues into Wed.
Too early to have any confidence in specifics so check back in Mon and we’ll have a much clearer understanding of how it will play out. 

Until then, have a great weekend!
