Southwesterly 15 to 20 knots turning southerly 15 to 25 knots during the morning. Winds reaching up to 30 knots in the far north in the afternoon.

Weather

Partly cloudy. 50% chance of showers.

Weather Situation

The combination of a high [1033 hPa] centred over the Tasman Sea and a deepening low [999 hPa] off the southern Queensland coast is leading to a tight pressure gradient. This in turn is driving strong to gale force southerly winds and powerful seas across the southern Queensland waters. The low will move away to the northeast over the weekend, allowing winds and seas to slowly abate.
