Any long range predictions? For the men's comp starting on June 1st I mean.

I'm a little worried the LWT might be stalling in the prime swell window a tad too early, thus delivering a damn good swell for the girls......probably to big for the girls.......restaurants for them perhaps.

yeah the girls look like they'll get several days of beautiful long interval swell

blokes might get something from closer range. That southerly air has to push up into the Tasman at some point. May's been April, maybe June will be May.

Gee, current outlook for the blokes isn't looking overly great at all. Maybe 4-5ft at Cloudbreak at best? Strong trades could make for some lumpy conditions out at Cloudbreak also!!!

And I think they'll be running the gals at Restaurants come Wed/Thurs!!!

Gee, whilst us SE Qlders love semi-stationary high pressure systems the ASP must be dreading it for the mens fiji comp. Such a massive swell blocker for Fiji.

The girls will get grated, sliced and smashed at restaurants. Might be worth tuning in then.

worst case scenario so far.

bit of stray fluff coming around the corner from underneath Oz looks to be about it.

funny if they deem cloudy too big for the girls so they run it in 3ft high tide restaurants ... then the men come and get skunked.

would that qualify as a pr nightmare? not that any such thing exists within the asp, it's all hype & spin and best evers.

they will make it sound as if they defended Leningrad against the might of the German army for an entire Soviet winter.

grown men will be in the streets weeping with gratitude.

think the forecast is starting to look a bit better for the men,something deep under Tasmania out there around June 3-4-5

but then again the same forecast is pretending there'll be an east coast low at the same time. ah ha ha ha ha as if.

but...but my penis is working perfectly well thank you

it doesn't matter anyway, that forecast has already crumbled under its own weight. Poor professional surfers!
