We've got a large SW-S/SW groundswell on the way but with some decent size getting into the gulf.

This swell energy isn’t well aimed for for CQ but the developing surface low is still strong enough to send swell north of Fraser Island.

We’ve already seen solid S swells in NETas from the frontal system with smaller surf expected from the sub-tropical low system. 

The evolution of the surface low in the sub-tropics is complicated and running a little behind schedule, but as we suggested on Wed we’ll see the remnants of severe TC Lola drift into and become absorbed into the large low centre over the weekend as it approaches the North Island.
