Well GFS certainly phcuked up big time with that call but as it stands , it's a damm good thing. A semi-stationary low pressure region drifting in the Coral Sea (the original Low progged by GFS , did move off the CQ coast , drifted NE and is weakening). Looks like a nice sustained tradewind swell re...

Herro has been living at Lennox the past few years, usually found at the pub , or riding a bike with a brown sanga in hand. Suffers from pancreatitis, and has recently had every single one of his teeth removed due to rotten teeth leading to general septicaemia. He tried to dry out for a few months b...

BOM have recently issued a strong wind warning for South Coastal waters due to a low forming off Gladstone. They have it remaining weak though and drifting out into the CS. Whichever way you slice it, there's surf on the horizon. I'm thinking GFS might be overcooking things.....gee they're sticking ...

what fantasy is this. . Don't know what synoptic chart your looking at Nick but both GFS and EC are progging a fairly serious swell generating pattern for the lower Coral Sea. In GFS case a repeat of the coast hugging hybrid low that produced 8-10 foot tow surf on the Goldy and devestating floods f...

Mt Coolum or Mt Ninderry looking SE at the Sunny Coast, with Old Woman visible in the distance.

Next one will do the biz.

Don't know that stretch of coast that well but to have a guess : Sawtell.

location A?? (the current running this day was fkkn fierce, almost impossible to make it out) http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j65/sydneysidesurfer/stn603516045_742890_9033-1.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j65/sydneysidesurfer/stn603516045_742870_2042.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/wand1977/tubebullet.jpg Joels execution maybe way left of center but the idea is cutting edge. Ummm....not even close to cutting edge...just a groovy well packaged re-make of seventies designs. In a more modern incarnation Dick Van Straalen has been making the...

Still a helluva lot of uncertainty wrt model runs and location of convective activity in CS. Wouldn't be surprised to see low form much closer to the coast (ie off Fraser). SST's are outrageous in the CS right now. Very tricky forecasts, even short/medium term forecasts are seriously dicey. (um........

nope.
Clues: water colour and vegetation.
Casaurina Equistifolia (she-oak) was planted as a response to sand mining.(along with bitou bush).

I'd say momentum and "peaking" are also important elements. You have to be "on" when the swell peaks. Especially on the East Coast where we might only get one really good swell per year. As a classic example during the famous July 2001 swell I spent the better part of the afternoon before the classi...

I was working on a learn to surf camping tour for much of the late nineties/2000's. I can vouch for the fact that "Point break" (possibly the worst film ever made....only saved by Keanu Reeves unintentionally hilarious performance) had a MASSIVE impact on the psyches of learner surfers particularly ...

I'd say volcanic, or Brisbane metamorphic.
Pandanus palm is a bit of a giveaway.
Looks like cyclonic swell on the Sunny Coast....outer edge of Noosa; Hells gates?

Hey Nick, I was wondering if I could pick your brains a little. I've noticed that some swell models are actually showing up some super long period NNE groundswell for SE Qld come mid-late next week (in conjunction with the slightly smaller and lesser period E groundswell). This NNE groundswell show...

Was looking at that today , whilst contemplating our spring slop.
Back to Back events coming for them before that to.

You don't need to be blind to the supposed Evils of the Western World to note that lifespans, infant mortality rates, and the occurrence of infectious diseases -- including those prevented by vaccination -- are radically better in wealthy Western nations with access to modern medical facilities and...
