A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge along the Queensland east coast. A weak trough over the central Coral Sea is likely to move slowly westwards and may approach the central Queensland coast on Tuesday or Wednesday; this feature has some potential to produce strong east southeasterly winds north of about Double Island Point on Wednesday. Easterly swells over southern coastal waters are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, boating, swimming and surfing.
