winter fourteen

[steve shearer]

I'm on the beach watching well paid hipsters ride baby food on logs. Feels more like a fashion shoot than a surf session

It,s July 6 and there's a 1025hp high pressure system sitting on 50 degrees sth 155degrees east.

Fcuk this for a joke.

Nick, you should be grateful mate cause without that same high cradling the low off NZ's west coast, you'd not be getting your E/SE swell later this week.

[SAsurfa]

Yep Don's right Nick, that strong ridge and deepening low over New Zealand is gonna produce the goods.. finally!

[steve shearer]

whoa mama, hows them apples on that current ASCAT pass.

[Donweather]

Yeah and looks to be slightly better aimed at us compared to forecast. Would you agree Steve?

[steve shearer]

totally. that was my first thought before I splooged over the windspeeds in the that fetch: that thing is aimed straight at Lennox Head.

[Nick Carroll]

whoa mama, hows them apples on that current ASCAT pass.

fuck! shut UP everybody. things can still go wrong. I'm not sure how but they still can.

[steve shearer]

well it will b school holidays. so no doubt more crowded than Bangkok.

I'd love to see it just at that size.........


haven't seen storm force winds in a fetch pointed our way for a while.

[Donweather]

****! shut UP everybody. things can still go wrong. I'm not sure how but they still can.

We are all forgetting that ASCAT is just a snap shot in time. Fetch duration is still up for grabs!!!

I like looking at this site. I know it's stylised but the graphics are cool and it's updated every 2 hrs I think. That fetch has been going gangbusters all day.

[steve shearer]

it'll be duration limited for sure. still, that pass was an upgrade on what was expected.

see what the next brings.

[SAsurfa]

Fetch duration for you guys up north isn't as good as down here, but we'll see almost a whole day of those winds aimed at us. Juicy indeed!!

[steve shearer]

Bay of Plinty getting hammered bro.

[Nick Carroll]

hey sasurfa maybe you guys should start screaming at the newspapers etc

'cause there'll be a bunch of rock fishermen in the wrong places tomorrow morning.

[crabmeat thompson]

How big are we talking? isn't it just 6ft?

Don't tell me seabreeze has given me another bumsteer.

[steve shearer]

what? Seabreeze hasn't called it 6metres?

[SAsurfa]

We've issued media releases before but they're usually only run if the wave height predictions are enormous or there is some other degree of newsworthiness. Other than that, our reach doesn't extend much beyond the core surf demographic.

I've read about gloves, helmets, rubber, bumsteers and mongrels on this site today.
