winna. how's it lookin?

[Nick Carroll]

OK finally a chart you can sorta half believe.

May 26/27/28 looking excellent for much of the east coast.

[diggerdickson]

Righto, which one of you cvnts is going to blow up NZ, sooner rather than later please!!!

MMM. , maybe a dash across to nz for a surf could be the go. NAHHHHHH, just blow it up please.

[Donweather]

Hmmmm, perhaps Autumn isn't dead just yet, with long range modelling hinting at more of a typical autumn pattern of a semi stationary high over NZ longitudes??

[el rancho]

fri/sat could be alright up here in QLD, south facing and south of the border too.

swell period looks ok too. we'll see...

[Donweather]

I was looking a little further out into the model runs than this weekend ER. More into mid next week, and I see the super long range (mid-late next week) EC is sniffing at some potential low pressure developments off the east coast, cradled nicely by a stalled high pressure system on it's southern flank

[diggerdickson]

damn the wind, was hoping for tommorow but may have lucked out again, sunday was the go and had my boys birthday, I say again, damn the winds

[Donweather]

Mitte Woche Digger!!!

[steve shearer]

God, Jesus.
Help me.
I am sniffing something in the wind.
Nothing remotely scientific, mind.
Some kind of barbaric and atavistic rumbling in the spleen or kidneys.
We have waited patiently Huey, we shall not forget.

How's the swell in the water up here at the moment Steve? Damn impressive period and swell heights from the S/SE. I've got some pics of the Tweed from this morning that shows solid 6ft sets....it's a south facing beach.

Will post pics later when I can.

[steve shearer]

was some solid 6ft sets across the place this morn.
Twas expecting a more serious NW flow but calm conditions prevailed till mid-morn.
ASCAT cut off the relevant part of the fetch.

[Donweather]

Posted some pics in the "where did you surf" thread. Damn impressive waves around today that's for sure.

[Donweather]

Gee, if the latest long range EC comes off, Sydney and the south coast could well be in for some flooding rains, come early-mid next week!!!

Fair to say GFS and EC couldn't be further divergent at the moment though.

[Donweather]

Hmmmm, a 1040 hPa semi stationary high pressure system in the Tasman Sea.....it is winter yeah?

[diggerdickson]

Hmmmm, a 1040 hPa semi stationary high pressure system in the Tasman Sea.....it is winter yeah?

but the water is still nice don, still in boardies Doesnt feel like winter to me yet

[Donweather]

Water is always still warm at the start of winter. Coldest water temps are in Spring.

[Donweather]

Righto, which one of you cvnts is going to blow up NZ, sooner rather than later please!!!

Is someone gonna do this or what? Yet again that sheep shaggin isle robs the east coast of a damn impressive E'ly fetch!!!

[Donweather]
