Come on 2nd Reef...bastardos...call it!

[Nick Carroll]

I can't wait for one of you two bastards to pull the Alert-but-not-Alarmed chain on next week's supposed event. Or has the Froth temporarily subsided as a result of June.

Pffft.... It's just another East Coast Low. Nothing special about them these days.

This one isn't looking especially spectacular in the size department (yet), although it does drift ENE through the Tasman rather slowly, so the swell should hang around for a while.

Here's hoping that it heads away from the coast, with a slow intensification, then stalling this side of NZ's north island in a similar position to ex-tropical cyclone Wati (see below).








There ya go Nick, did I bite hard enough? At least now you have a scapegoat for when it doesn't eventuate.

Thanks Stinky-Wes

My preferred weather site is down at the moment so I wasn't sure what Nick was on about.

That should be just about perfect for the school hols next week.

I was using last years image of Wati to show what I hope will occur next week.
Here is a shot of the current model run... (for the lazy peoples)

I reckon Monday and Tuesday are gonna be in the 10 foot plus range easy. Maybe 14 sec plus period,

Definatly looks like a system to froth over!!

Anyone willing to be more precise yet?

[Nick-W]

4-6ft, 10-12 seconds

[Butts]

I'll throw my hat in the middle, 3-5ft @ 8-9 Monday building to possible 6ft @ 10 seconds on tuesday.

No 12 second stuff in it

Monday early is going to be the pick for clean, along with Wednesday morn.
Onshore winds Tuesday

But hey, could be wrong

[austeve]

Gotta be the worst week at least

Yesterday, entitled "The optimist" :?


Today had bigger waves, albeit going out to sea

[stinky_wes]

Next week is looking better with every new model run. Come on Huey!!

[2nd Reef]

Oh man...yeah...I'm slow on the uptake on this one.

Been laid low with a mixture of Spanish and Hong Kong Flu with a touch of bubonic plague chucked in to spice things up. The only reason I'm outta bed now is cause I'm dosed up on codeine and so staggering around like a tranquilized brown bear...grrrr...yeah!

Full marks to my immune system for timing though! How about that?

Dunno if it gonna be a classic system for Sydney. Perhaps 6' solid ESE on Tuesday. But up north will be party central. 8'+ and good winds on the points.

Cant get the froth stirred. I'm goin' back to bed.

Hoo roo.

[Butts]

. Perhaps 6' solid ENE on Monday.

:? ENE
