Central QLD Forecaster Notes by Steve Shearer (updated on Wed Feb 5th)

This week and next week (Feb5-Feb14)

Central QLD: Easing swells short term with next week now looking a bit lacklustre

Plenty of fun waves in the recent past, easing into the weekend.

No great change to the outlook as a tradewind fetch anchored by tropical low pressure near New Caledonia remains active before the low slides off to the SE later tomorrow and into Fri. We’ll see continuing mid-period tradeswells from this source, slowly easing from todays peak.

Another strong groundswell is due to end off the week, cleanest as it eases.

The Mid Coast will be the pick of the period with small waves as the South Coast sees persistent onshore winds (apart from tomorrow).
