In the South Pacific we have a retrograding trough of low pressure along a tradewind band and finally, the Northern Australian Monsoon (NAM) is in full swing and a tropical low is expected to bud off the end of the monsoon trough into and over the weekend, with a reasonable likelihood of cyclogenesis into next week.

Make the most of the coming days as the outlook for next week is poor.

We've got a dynamic week of weather and surf ahead for the state, though not really impacting the South Arm. Try other coasts.

A SE surge currently working it’s way north now looks to stall and dissipate before it reaches water north of Fraser Island with only tiny/small surf expected for CQ.
