60ft harrington...

Post by marcus » Fri Sep 17, 2010 12:51 pm

the wife works talking to country people with insurance issues.
some bloke up at Harrington near crowdy head said its supposed to be "60ft waves at sea"
so she calls me and says i think its supposed to be 10ft on the weekend.

but... how big is it really going to be?
swellnet chart looks like 6 ft faces dropping slowly to 3-4ft.

where do they get these 60ft calls from?
anyway im heading back home to cronulla island for some mush burgers.
anyone know how big or small will IT be?

The wave recorded in Tasmania was 18m - this converts to 59 feet.
I guess someone figured Taz and Crowdy head are close enough
