Marcus, don't worry, there will be swell for when you get back.

Marcus, you should stick around down here for the weekend.

There's some good swell coming down this way late Fri night (6-8ft with some 10ft bombs on Sat and 6+ on Sun).

And . . you can buy yourself the best coffee in Aust along with some overpriced beers from fancy bars while you're here.

Wouldn't mind hanging around down there Mical but have to get back for a full days work on Friday.

And Butts - thanks for the confidence, but your wink doesnt make me feel so sure

It's going to be good. Ankle reconstruction tomorrow. I predicted this in December at the chrissy drinks.

Spoon I reckon you might be right. Feb last year I had a knee recon...and we only probably had the best 6-8 weeks of swell in the last 10 years.

A lot of energy heading the direction of the east coast.

7 day forecast is shaping up nicely on top of all the energy that was already on the water.

This will be interesting to watch, forecast and hindcast.

what's all this i see for east coast on monday?

qld/north nsw looks to cop 4-5ft easterly.

we'll see about that...

Which Monday? 1st Feb? Wouldn't waste my time ER....will be junky weak windswell crap come Monday.

Later in the week is where the juice is....and going by latest GFS charts, could well be some nicely groomed lines stacked up at the points by the end of next week indeed.

9:30am Monday and looking at the charts, we should be hooking into some 4-5ft barrels later that day, with not another soul in sight!!!

Enjoy!

Digger,

Thursday's looking better all the time.
Reasonable swell size (not large but better than for a while) .................Check
Swell direction - just right for a nice swing around the island.................Check
Tide - low and incoming............................................................Check
Wind - light offshore early.........................................................Check

Here's hoping.

p.s those little graphs in the swell reports don't actually show wave height, more crowd factor


i like the swells they don't see coming

Nah Mate, they'll all be disappointed.
When things line up this far out, somethin's gotta give.
