Re: Tropical cyclone Hamish,
Now is D-Day. Will it make it around Fraser and head out to sea as the JTWC has forecast or hook in between Bundy and Hervey Bay as the BOM thinks. It's become quite a compact system, we need Hamish seaward of Fraser.
I want Nightclub Dwight dead in his grave I want the nice-nice up in blazes

Obviously Hamish blew them from their moorings...........mustkillmulloway wrote:

Re: Tropical cyclone Hamish,
North Mackay normally has good waves on a SE or and ESE swell. Just north of the main rock wall of the Pioneer River and at a couple of beaches just a bit further north. Can get overhead on those coule of good days a year.

Re: Tropical cyclone Hamish,
I note that the BOM's latest forecast track is very much in line with the GFS model.....which I have to say has been a reasonably good performer of recent days in predicting his movements. Although it's worth noting that EC did originally predict him at least a week ago, but since he's formed, EC has struggled somewhat with his predicted movements.
JTWC are going for a fairly rapid E/SE track once he passes out past Fraser Island.
Eitherway, with GFS or JTWC models, with a large Tasman high cradling Hamish, it looks as though we wont be seeing any real surfable conditions (too stormy) at least until later this week, when both seas and wind appear to settle down (assuming the above models pan out).

Re: Tropical cyclone Hamish,
Ok boys, enough talk! Is someone going to post pics or what???
Fong, did you head north?
Trev, did you head up to Fong/Tiger territory?
Tiger, did you down tools for this swell?
Marcus, you out at the bluff?
I haven't been missing the surf too much until I saw these pics:

Good times for the Sunny Coasters for sure

Re: Tropical cyclone Hamish,
Felix, those pics were in the morning before the swell really picked up. Surfed y'day at Eno's, probs the best Ive seen it. Big kegs reeling across the front of the rockshelf, all the way past the Pot and into nationals. Was pretty ordinary from about the slopey rock/kook jumpoff spot in, too much current. 1st point looked OK too.rightbrainpositive wrote:Ok boys, enough talk! Is someone going to post pics or what???

Re: Tropical cyclone Hamish,
All the old guy's used to rave about Rainbow north of Noosa. "Longest right anywhere". Was it on? Did anyone surf it?

Pretty well everywhere except Noosa was blown out.eMpowered wrote:All the old guy's used to rave about Rainbow north of Noosa. "Longest right anywhere". Was it on? Did anyone surf it?
I saw some shots on the news of guys rocking off (i think outside Boiling Pot). Too scary for me. I'm old.
Felix, Marcus is recovering from a knee(?) op. so he should have some pics.
Me, I just watched.
Fong tells me the current was diabolical.

Re: Tropical cyclone Hamish,
Whilst these aren't Noosa, there's still some good shots in this lot.

Re: Tropical cyclone Hamish,
Mackay scored Hamish Solid 5 to 6ft sunday Bigger on the sets at Dolphin Heads and at north wall beach. Lamberts beach was super heavy a few broken boards were tallyed Monday was epic clean offshore 4 to 5ft groundswell now these wave faces would have been 7 to 8 feet bigger on the sets so I'm not pullin ya leggy or any thing tuesday thursday and friday were clean and
offshore 3 to 4 ft with wednesday being the only on shore day best we had in a many year. Now we are just waiting for a new one to stick its head up give us some more good frothy waves.
