Swell for Chopes

[shambles]

Looking a bit slim for the Billabong comp. Anyone seeing anything that looks any good?

[crabmeat thompson]

I don't how long it'd take for a low to form near enzed to pump some swell through to Chopes, but I'm going on the record as saying they're gonna get skunked.

when does it start ? keen to see the fuel coverage, much better than some of the lame ever buffering web coverages.....

[shambles]

Starts Monday. Chopes on Fuel should be good. Just need some swell.

There's already a long discussion here on the swell prospects for Chopes.

Looking very average indeed, based on the GFS charts. EC has something pushing off the tip of NZ this time next week, so let's hope something comes from that. Could also be some long range SE swell from a low/high combo deep in the South Pacific around the same time.....what the feck is a high pressure system doing that far south this time of year!!!

looked here this morning and saw 3 nice waves , not great but definitely looked fun, just dunno when they are gunna start this thing, half the waiting period is gone, they may have to start something soon.....anything on the horizon for next few days ???

[Donweather]

Mark, it looks like they'll start it maybe Sunday afternoon (Tahiti time), if not then definitely Monday (Tahiti time). They'll probably at least try and run Rds 1 - 3 on Monday/Tuesday me thinks, saving the finals for Friday (Tahiti time).

Sounds pretty grim from what Steve's reporting.
I reckon forget the surfing.
Judge em by their iPod contents instead.

You see, Fluffy, access to the webcast and its associated videos is like musical chairs. At the moment it's like, you know, you don't have a chair. Your jacket isn't even on the back of a chair yet. You're chair-less. In fact you're jacket-less. You do not have a jacket. Nor a chair.

Because, you see, it's musical chairs.

Musical chairs.
