This week and next week (Dec25-Jan3)

Central QLD: Tiny/flat for a while

Small waves today and tomorrow, easing back to tiny into the new year.

Just rideable for XMas Day

A deep low is moving slowly towards New Zealand but the main bulk of the fetch has already rotated away from the East Coast with an off axis fetch aimed at South Pacific Islands. Elongated high pressure is moving into the Tasman with an approaching trough, front and cut-off low expected to tighten the pressure gradient leading to freshening N’lies from Boxing Day.

The Mid Coast will continue to offer surf the whole period, though at times with poor conditions.
