but if you're trying to rescue trev during this approaching swell event, don't do the surfboard roll-on technique, just wave for the jet ski

Because it's gonna take the two rope method as espoused by NPL above

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

I dislike looking at long range charts, it's like being a little kid before Christmas hoping you'll get what you asked for

Here's a LR chart for late February
Image

This low is a redeveloped tropical cyclone that is progged to begin way the hell out near the Cook Islands, intensify as it moves south of Fiji, and carry all the way to where it is on this map. It aims a broad band of ESE and ENE winds at the whole Australian east coast for a period of several days. If this happens, everywhere will be hammered by one of the best easterly swells of the century along with light to mod-fresh SW/SE winds.
I'll have to check charts but didn't TC Gita sit in a similar position and was hyped yet delivered bugger all.

No wind band like the one illustrated by that weather map would deliver bugger all.

Like - look at the wind band east of the low. 35-knot winds blowing across a fetch maybe 700nm long and similarly wide. Remember this fetch has been moving toward the Aust coast for five days. The swell generated by such winds would have a top end period of 17 seconds and be anywhere from 10-12’ in the open ocean.

just to drop the fcuken hammer again

I've been on a transition surf movie bender and that seq of MP at Kirra on Morning of the Earth is still a complete jaw dropper. Go to 43min and something on here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak-ZsAB ... ture=share

Like four years before this was shot, pretty much every surfer in the world was riding loggers. Now, MP, 19 years old and just crackling with energy and style, is lining up Kirra like a gunslinger. You can just smell the surfing being invented as it happens on screen.

It's funny eh Alby just kind of stumbled across the day this was shot, it wasn't set up at all. And the ftg is not at all nostalgic, it's just kind of raw and brilliant.
