What surfer doesn't care about the weather? Who hasn't predicted the arrival of a new swell? Do all of it here!

Fark Steve, did it work out the way you said, or have you been wrong on pretty much every prognostication on this forum so far.

Just keep calling it as not happening, or blown out or whatever, it's working for us cube monkeys. :lol:

hey Olds I appreciate the restraint shown so far by not calling "best ever autumn" so early in the piece but you do realise that sometimes there can be differences, ever so slight to be fair, between SEQLD/NENSW and Sydney........right?

there's still blokes walking down the main street of Lennox flogging themselves with branches in some kind of penitence about having an eight foot E swell getting blown to smithereens by howling northerlies in FUCKING MARCH.

it's a sensitive subject mate.

Why the prevailing Easterly aspect to the winds this year on the Sunny hoax?
It swings inbetween ENE and ESE lately.
Toaday is different...it's due E.

And what are the chances of the subsequent backup E'ly groundswell also being destroyed by N'ly winds in fecking March!!!! :-? :-?

I canceled my camping trip due to northerlies. In the last week of march.

Still can't quite believe this is happening.

Instead of camping north, I went south. Got some good ones this morning. I've had so much sun but ... I feel like my eyes are sunburnt.

yeah, no shit. And as usual predictive models are six months behind the reality of the event, which started last august.

scientists says that points to a major El Nino event forming to rival the record event nearly 20 years ago.
Great :(

I'm giving up surfing for 3 years.

See yous all in 2017!

probably pure fantasy but access G has a weather bomb scenario as ex Tc Ita drifts down the coast into coast exiting upper trough.

if it comes off, I see ten foot surf for the Easter hols.
