The high becomes even more slow moving as it approaches Tasmania so we’re looking at S-SE flow over the weekend. And with winds in the Coral Sea, plenty of E/SE swell.

Into next week and we’ll see more of the same as another surge fills the Coral Sea early next week, holding or even rebuilding wave heights from Tues.
By Wed we’ll see a fresh SE surge build and that will see wave heights come up a notch Thurs into the weekend as SE winds fill the Coral Sea.
Small E/SE swell holds early next week- generated by winds in the Coral Sea and the slot between New Caledonia and the North Island and offering up fun, rideable waves on low tides.
A monster high (1037hPa) moves into the Bight tomorrow and slowly weakens as it enters the Tasman on the weekend, bringing SE winds into the Coral Sea and holding a small signal of SE-E/SE swell that will hold just rideable surf.
Smaller surf than indicated on Fri due to the structure, strength and positioning of the Coral Sea low.
By Mon morning we should have a complex trough of low pressure NE of K’gari (Fraser Is) with a well developed fetch of strong SE winds feeding into the low and extending well out into the Coral Sea.
The gist of it is a trough line in the Coral Sea, which may deepen into a low pressure system and drift towards the North Island (GFS scenario) or move towards the QLD coast as a coastal trough and intensify a NE infeed into the CQ coast, possibly as early as Sun bringing a major increase in E-E/NE swell.
Some signs of a rebuild in SE-E/SE winds in the Coral Sea next week should add to the mix and hold rideable surf from Tues-Fri.
A high E of NZ is feeding winds into a trough in the Coral Sea and that will hold fun surf today and into tomorrow.
