Forecast issued at 4:45 am EST on Tuesday 23 April 2019.
Weather Situation
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 Wednesday; this feature has some potential to produce strong east southeasterly winds north of about Gladstone on Wednesday. Easterly swells over southern coastal waters are expected to slowly abate.
