I'm liking the look of that one. Just a touch more retrograde would be perfect. Local winds when the swell arrives look fecking questionable again though! Grrrrrrrr!!!!

Howlers. More east than anything else. Not wanting for swell.

Re: Summer 2013-'14
This summer in Sydney is one of the windiest I can recall. Every arvo lately has had howling Nor Easters, reminds me of growing in Perth with the clockwork Sou Westers
Re: Summer 2013-'14
Actually the nor-Easter has been up a lot early in the morning as well. Can't recall that happening before to the extent it has this summer.

The Nor Easter has been bad in Sydney but it was absent this evening. And it hasn't been that clean in the mornings as well.

What are you talking about Don?
Been day after day after day of super fun surf on the Points.
Semi-clean in the E to ESE wind.
Less crowded after the holiday madness and just so, so many waves on the bank.
Now's the time to stock up on B/C-grade Point surf.
This is like complaining about a sou-east trade wind in Bali because Caaunggu is blown out.
Get thee to the Bukit lad.

Re: Summer 2013-'14
Steve, us Qlders don't have the luxury you Nth NSW folk have. We have 2-3 locations tops that we can go to in these conditions and even then, with relentless E-SE winds, they're of marginal quality, let alone the crowd factor as every man and his dog seeks shelter from the relentless E-SE winds.
I hate crowds, and by crowds I mean more than 20-30 surfers. I need at least a day or two either side of the new front/change moving through of light winds to allow me to get uncrowded beachies. Huey has not delivered these conditions with some surfable swell for some time in SE Qld this summer (or on the rare occasion he has, I've been committed elsewhere to other activities). Relentless onshore winds day after day this time of year is not consistent/seasonal at all. We do typically get a day or two respite and it's this window that I hunt down.
I can't see any such window on the horizon for some time to come and it's been crap surf/wind since mid Dec, give or take one or two days. It's 2/3rds the way through Summer Steve.....we shouldn't be surfing so little. Summer and Autumn is the time for SE Qlders to get their fix.
And I won't mention the SC as those poor bastards haven't had a respite in wind for nearly all of the summer!!!

Re: Summer 2013-'14
I'd love to be able to stock up on B/C grade point surf.
Did get a wave this morning, fun enough before the wind.

Hey Don, I seem to remember you guys talking about the seasons running later than normal? Is this a typical spring seasonal pattern still occurring in mid-late summer & the normal summer weather patterns are still yet to come?
What's the difference between Elizabeth Warren & Kamala Harris?

Nah def not a typical spring pattern. It's a summer pattern just no respite whatsoever (ie relentless onshore winds with no day here or there having light winds).

Gee, the GFS model is really struggling with this active monsoon trough. Bouncing all over the place with wide and varied scenarios. Take the latest 18z run as exhibit A!!!
Re: Summer 2013-'14
I can't remember such an intense run of easterly winds.
They blow hard ALL day, then don't back off at night. Normally, after a few days you'd get an easing and a couple of early morning offshores, but it's coming up to two weeks now.
A couple of times you think it's easing off in the evening, then by midnight it's almost gale force again.
When I was growing up on the Goldie, you'd get maybe up to 5 days of roaring NE'ers in summer, then a storm would blow through and fix things but this is crazy.
Don't even want to take the kayak out on the Passage. It's just too rugged and uncomfortable.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.
