We've got out first pulse of W/SW swell in the water with plenty more to come.

In the Coral Sea, Severe TC Alfred (currently borderline Cat4 central pressure 956hPa, expected to weaken to Cat 3 during the day) is crawling slowly SE to Southwards. TC Seru is SE of New Caledonia and weakening to tropical storm status through today as it slowly moves south-eastwards and then stalls.
We've got another two good pulses of swell inbound, though tomorrow morning will be the cleanest and pick of it.
The weekend will offer the most size, though it won't be the cleanest.
We've got a few more pulses of swell to come this period, cleanest as they ease.. as always.
If we get the CQ crossing, very serious surf in the 8ft range or bigger is likely Mon into Tues.
High pressure is in the Tasman with three tropical cyclones currently on the map. NETas will see some smaller surf from these systems as well as NE windswell.
TC Alfred is in the Coral Sea, currently about a 1000km NE of Mackay and slow moving, expected to slowly track southwards from today. TC Rae has sped off SE to the graveyard and TC Seru is located between Vanuatu and Fiji and moving S/SE. In this complex brew, we’ll see multiple swell trains from the NE-E quadrant, although large swells may be confined to more northerly regions as models firm on a CQ coastal crossing for TC Alfred (still uncertainty over this track!) and the South Pacific cyclones track south-eastward, then eastwards as dissipating systems.
