The low is slow moving as it slides to the SE of New Caledonia and looks to be reinforced by a second tropical low budding off the monsoon trough in North QLD waters. We’ll see continuing E’ly swells from this source, with a long lasting peak as the system intensifies as it drifts through the South Pacific slot over the weekend.

Tricky mix of swells this week for Indonesia, better groundswell next week.

There’s already a wide swathe of E’ly to SE’ly winds across the Coral Sea and a developing low off the Central QLD coast tracking towards New Caledonia. That will increase windspeeds along the northern flank of a very broad trade-wind fetch smack bang in our eastern swell window. 

The coming days will become windy and large, but quality will be hard to find, with a stronger swell due early next week.
