Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Mon 23rd June)

This week and next week (June23-July4)

Central QLD: Easing surf this week, another round of waves next week

High pressure is in the centre of the Tasman with a complex trough, front and low system approaching from south of the Bight. A retreating trade fetch gets supercharged by a developing trough and low in the South Pacific, reaching maximum intensity between Tongan and Tahitian longitudes. Despite the travel distance, we should see some quality long range E swell from this source.

Trade swells persist into tomorrow before easing becoming small from Thurs.

Surf rebuilds next week from a combination of Tradewinds as a new high pressure ridge builds over the weekend and long range E swell from a South Pacific low. 

Source of fun waves next week

Expect fun waves again all next week from Mon.

Check back Wed for the latest.
