Anyone Know A Cure For Bad Breath?

Post by 2nd Reef » Thu Jun 21, 2007 4:39 pm

Cos we're gonna need it.

Tasman is (hopefully) growing another onion next week - the 4th in 3 weeks. Big crop this season, eh?

So is this onion gonna eventuate and deliver more overhead pits?

We'll hold our breath and wait!

The 4th in 3 weeks. :shock:

How unusual is this :?:

Is it potentially climate change related? (long bow I know but......)

Experienced weather persons pls comment.

If Huey is planning a bbq, he would be better off waiting until the next day as far as the onion supply is concerned.

The Alps should get a rather large snowstorm if this develops. This season is shaping up to be a good'un, if you are that way inclined.

Hopefully it intensifies, but moves very slowly east and stalls...
Either way, it looks like this latest run of swell isn't about to end anytime soon :D

Sarcasm intended?

And Chris, if you look closely, Ben has slyly introduced daily updates on the 5 Day forecast, but still does the in depth analysis every two days. Doing in depth stuff every day would be overkill anyway.
Get out an old weather book and learn to read charts well, it is rather interesting stuff. You will quickly learn about swell development, directions, wind, etc, and this will help you score better waves more often.

im not certain but im pretty sure the colour on that chart is just with regards to wave height not period.
Its pretty close to the coast so i dont know where its gona generate a long fetch to create a groundswell. And it doesnt really look like it is directed at the coast. Most likely if it did occur it would be more of this close proximity storm swell.. not that i would be complaining.

Looks for now to be too close to the coast for sure, strong westerlies though

Yeah Wanto, we had a heap o' swell last may-june.

But, nah Wanto, those swells came from various types of weather systems.

Wati was a TC that got a bit lost and drifted south. Firing up again off the NE tip of the N Island of NZ and belting us with long range east swell. Here's the chart just after it got demoted;

[img][img]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n245/stunet/Wati.jpg[/img][/img]

The big S that is probably best remembered by the 'Hammerheads' photos was a deep low in the far southern Tasman. That low sent us swell from a fairly rare part of our swell window. Seems we either get short & feisty ECL swells, or long-range and inconsistent swells from very distant polar lows. This one sparked up in a posi that gave us a decent fetch. The map below is when it first started to develop. The centre of the low drifted east and the high buttressed against it setting up a mighty fetch. Aimed straight at us.

[img][img]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n245 ... rheads.jpg[/img][/img]

There were a couple of others but I cant be arsed cutting and pasting anymore, and anyway I think the point is made (go check the BOM's archive's. Better than any photo album I tell ya).

I reckon the last three episodes (and this potential one) have an eerie similiarity. Just a big coincidink? Or greater forces at work? I'll leave that question to the eggheads.

So....Ben, Alex, O-man & B-man......come on down!!



Hey tmill009,

Given the choice I reckon I'd rather be at Gnarloo.

You're all Trippin', it's too far in the future.

Since Reef2 has already been forced to devour his underwear, I suggest another piece of excessively personal clothing. Old footy sock perhaps.
