The Australian Bureau of Meteorology said its 400 km east northeast of Willis Island and 840 km east northeast of Cairns.
The cyclone is moving east at 16 kilometres per hour.
Tropical Cyclone Alfred is strengthening as it moves eastwards in the Coral Sea, well offshore of the north Queensland coast.
During the week Alfred is expected to turn southeast and then south while continuing to strengthen.
In its latest weather update, the bureau said considerable uncertainty exists in the track the system will take beyond that, but there is a risk it will move closer to the central Queensland coast later in the week.
