Make the most of the coming swells.

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
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 and some developing NE windswell.
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.

Protected spots will be the only option for surfers in the South West.
The Mid Coast will continue to offer surf the whole period, though at times with poor conditions.
If hunting the beaches, tomorrow is the pick ahead of small west swells and clean conditions for the Surf Coast. More energy is due next week but with average winds.
