Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Wed 25th June)

This week and next week (June25-July4)

Central QLD: Easing surf this week, another round of waves  early next week- mostly long range E swell

Still some little waves on low tides

In the eastern swell window a massive high east of New Zealand and tropical depression in Tongan longitudes is reaching peak intensity and expected to send some meaningful E’ly groundswell towards the eastern seaboard, making landfall over the weekend and next week.

Source of long range E swell 

Local trade swells are easing and trending to more inconsistent long range swells from this system.

Small, inconsistent remains into the weekend with long range swell filling in Sun and persisting into Mon and Tues.

Not much from the Coral Sea now with a low pressure expected to occupy the Tasman next week.

We’ll see how it looks on Fri.
