Just general surfing stuff

[alakaboo]

That's all correct, Trev.

Watched a bit of precontestfootagefrom Newie. Fcuking the Brazilians were giving it a bash. I really like how Italo surfs. Good venue for the comp. plenty of natural viewing platforms. I’m sure the town is stoked.

[foamy]

The town seems stoked. Looks to be about 120 spectators. Of course, a lot of those are possibly friends and relations of the competitors, WSL staff and passersby on the way to somewhere else

[Trev]

That's all correct, Trev.

Yeah it all made sense to me.
Interesting comment about a trend towards easterly rather than soueasterly swell direction.
What's the go there?

[channels]

Turned on the Newie context over on Swellnet.

The forecast must be dire if they are running the comp in a 1 turn closeout shorie.

The answer to that gets a bit complex Trev.

The location, intensity and frequency of different types of storms are changing, probably due to climate change but the wave records aren't super long and there are a whole lot of factors (SAM, ENSO etc).

Under climate change projections there are more TCs and ECLs, giving more ene and e swells and fewer s swells. The impact on frequency of southern ocean swell sources is a bit less clear I think, but they'll be more powerful.

Try and find some stuff by Mitch Harley or Rosh Ranasinghe.

Thanks.
I'll look them up.

I only ask because over the last two years I've noticed a preponderance of easterly swells in my area.
Probably just a local aberration though.

[Trev]

Trying hard in the slop.

[Drailed]

Yes Trev. Get it brother.

[Beanpole]

Booties?
Is that for the savage coral reefs in the area?

Nope.
I've told you before why.
Not gonna repeat myself.
Buddy is on the case.

[buddy]

Something something peripheral neuropathy, non diabetic.

[Trev]

Scary.
Just scary.

[Beanpole]

Sorry, old timer. Carving it up.

Lookin good Trev. I like the $10 Kmart boardies too.

[Legion]

The yellow okanuis are long gone

No name brands for me.
