No surprise here Steve. I have a fairly well proven theory on those exact synoptic setups.

No need to post locations mate. You've stated your forecast so let's see what happens. Although your qualification of "exposed" concerns me a little. What's your forecast for where 95% of people will be going. ie open beaches.

Put ya money where ya mouth is Braithy and put your forecast into print mate. No point baggin others if you're not gonna put your cock on the block also.

Hmmmm Byron buoy is showing some surprising S'ly swell.

You chaps still calling solid 8-10ft swell from this Tasman Low? EC has it as a real coast hugger. Me thinks you might actually get more swell from the current large high/trough (long fetch) in the Tasman as we speak, rather than the low itself. http://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/charts/medium/mean-s...

Not sure a lot will sail past with that secondary fetch popping up off the SW tip of NZ.....yeah sure the big fetch is aimed at CB/NZ etc, but the secondary fetch (if she comes to fruition) is looking good. And it's guaranteed to be pumping as I won't be anywhere near surf next week!!! :evil: Which...

Get that step-up south of the border Tonks and bring your paddling arms. Yeh, might have to organise a day off work next week (my holidays don't start to till the 17th). How big do you think it will be? Looks like a lot of the energy will sail straight past, but I could be wrong. What do you think ...

Well I got oil slick glass 2-3ft a frame peaks with just me and my mate on Easter Sunday. Woohooo autumn has entered the building folks!!! Even better this morning. Some decent swell hitting up along that part of the Sunny Coast you like yesterday afternoon late too, Don. During the late afternoon ...

There's some amazing pics in that lot.

Taiwan looks to pump for the next 4 days!!!

SW, you literally beat me to it.....was just about to say the same thing.....a super typhoon up there this time of year would be extremely unusual I would think?

Possibility of a further back up system to come also in a week or so time too?

Fecking April better be a massive turn around cause it wasn't a frcking great spring/summer either.

Well feck me, March will go down as one of the most feast or famine starts to Autumn I can remember. And for me it's been way too much famine compared to the feast particularly for the last two weeks of the month.

Braithy, after reading your blog on Chia seeds yesterday I was beginning to like you....but from your post above, any liking-ness I had for you just went out the window!!!!

I hope all the sheep (masses) are enjoying their 2ft waves this morning!!!!

I'm hearing ya Tiger. Very similar situation for me too with most of the crowd to the south of me.

I got some fun ones up the SC this morning. 2-3ft with the odd 3ft+ bomb set. Some good banks around as the tide came in also. Shame the wind didn't play ball....but it was certainly way more fun than it looked from the beach.

Not sure your local is gonna like the local winds Trev when that swell arrives.
