autumn

[steve shearer]

I'm starting to really like the look of this upcoming pattern.

[Yuke Hunt]

Are you stoned and looking through the kaleidoscope again.

[steve shearer]

Straight as a die cuz.

Look at the BOM MSLP chart.

Little troughs poking off from a late monsoon trough extension like christmas crackers waiting to be pulled.

And one does get pulled this week.

Yeeha grandma.

In fact if u look at the Grafton radar right now, you'll see a little micro-circulation on the trough line hitting Ballina as we speak.

Look at the BOM MSLP chart.

The Low has done some shape shifting on latest pass. Shitty onshore for the south coast this weekend. Probly ok for north coast but not quite as well aligned now.

[steve shearer]

BOM wind forecast charts look pretty tasty.

Not all-time but hopefully enough to get some sand slugs moving into the correct position for late autumn.

[steve shearer]

Storm force winds around the low now....still in the swell shadow of the Hunter coast for us though.

the trailing fetch stretched out to the South Island looks tasty.

[nthnbeachesguy]

Its about 8ft on the northern beaches right now, maybe even bigger. MHL is saying 6m average and 9m max wave height with 11-12 sec period, very south direction though.

Loving this benign pattern.

great for the kids and for diving in the boat channel.

[Skipper]

tomorrow is nine days straight sublime here, courtesy of this massive lumbering high.
cloudless skies, early puffs from the west, swing north then light airs. temps btwn 15 and 26.
king tides, full moon, partial eclipse, emotional meltdowns
cocks out, god under the pump, the geneology of morals, reg, musicals microwaved zucchini and Alana's bum.
talk about a wig out
yeah Fall.

[Trev]

wonderful skip.
Now, all we need are some waves.

[alakaboo]

Is that cyclone going to eventuate?

[Nick Carroll]

No.

Let it be. Happy days can only last so long. Sydney's sandbars need a corrective before what will prolly be a classic mid to late May avalanche of swell.

I love watching the seasons, it's my favourite thing in surfing aside from actually catching a wave. Everything about it: its predictability, its unpredictability, how it informs daily life for everyone yet always seems to come as a surprise, the shrinking days then the expanding thereof. It's so got fcuk all to do with me and what I do, there's not a page in a self help manual or a philosophy text or a novel, nor a frame in a movie, nor anything anyone does on social media, nor anything I do with all my scratching and striving, that will make a single fraction of a difference to it. Yet we all move to it like every other animal on earth.

Plenty of swell down here and a beautiful morning for it


At least it looks that way out of the window of the train
