Thanks Nick,

The low that's just formed off Guam is predicted to intensify and follow the same path as the current typhoon Phanfone which would be moving across Japan the same time im there.

I'll have another look in about a week.

Thanks I'll have a look over there. I basically want to know if typhoons off Japan have any significant impact on the north shore swells. Im thinking if it degraded into a massive low and tracked across the north pacific it might produce some decent swell on the north shore as it would be uninterupt...

There seems to be another intense low forming off Guam.

It's forecast to follow the same path as Typhoon Phanfone which is freaking enormous.

Thoughts Shearer?

Surely this is a good scenario with Phanfone to track across the north pacific as a powerful low?

I'm noticing increasing storm activity around the Phillipines and Japan. Is this the changing of the season coming?

Typhoon Phanfone in particular. It looks like it's intensifying.

OK will do

Yea I know..

Tiger sharks

I'm going to Hawaii for two weeks in about a month and am hoping for an early winter swell. I'm hoping to get some input from anyone who's good with swell forecasting and would appreciate the input. So far I've noticed there is a re-developing storm off Russia that could turn into something but I'm ...

Is there a good surf cam for pipe anywhere on the net?

I tried surfline but I think you have to pay for it. I'll pay if it's not too expensive, but is there a free one?

I found one free cam but it's a pretty bad angle.

Otoway it's not about bragging rights at all, hence why I'm asking if it's "worth it". Would you surf somewhere and get your head smacked in for bragging rights? Or take a drop on a wave that was multiple times heavier than anything you'd ever done just to say you did it? If it were about bragging r...

There's a sand bar break just near pipe that looks good called Ehukai. Hollow, fast 50m - 150m long rights and lefts. Starts working at about 4ft. Can be pretty crowded though. Also a quick question on pipeline. If it's small, say 4ft, I'd like to have a crack at it but what are my chances given the...

Thanks for all the suggestions, Wannasurf website is helping a lot too.

I'll tell you a true story Loofy. I was watching a doco on shark attacks where a woman went swimming in a cove that used to be used by a nearby abotoir to dump offcuts, bone, blood etc. To put it in a nutshell, 5 years after the abotoir closed the cove was still infested with sharks. The woman jumpe...

I'm going to Hawaii in October, staying at Waikiki and just wondering if anyone knows of some good surf spots?

My limit is about 5ft

Also are there any particularly sharky areas I should know about?

Thanks

The combination padlock sounds like a good idea.

Ok got it sorted.

Lock it with the remote from inside car then go outside and lock it manually. That way the hatch door locks.

I'm open to more ideas though.

Thanks fellas, I was going to just get one city to unlock the door but when I lock it manually like that, the central locking doesn't kick in, therefore the rear hatch door doesn't lock and there is no keyhole for it.

So I can't lock the remote key inside the car.

Just wondering what's the best way to hide remote car keys (with a battery)that obviously can't get wet in your leggie. Is there any type of plastic seal you can put them in and then put em in your pocket or leggie? I've always had just straight keys till now. Any tips for concealing them elsewhere?...

I surfed at Kings beach one day and had a very small shark chase me onto a few waves. I got sick of surfing there so went around the corner to currimundi and nearly stood on the biggest eastern brown snake I've ever seen. It was about 6ft long and dead still in the sand. I was too busy looking at th...
