A small trough of low pressure has stalled off Seal Rocks with a SE infeed south of the trough expected to ease over the next 24 hrs and a light/variable flow north of the trough.

The swell will fade in size and power over the coming days, with a fun new W/SW swell for Sunday.

The current synoptic situation has a Groundhog Day feel to it, with another very weak high pressure cell in the Tasman (1019hPa), directing a mod SE’ly flow along the CQ coastline, with a weakening Tradewind flow in the Coral Sea contracting northwards.

The weekend looks to offer the best chance for a surf.
