Just general surfing stuff

You're bang on, it won't affect Golden Beach.
But further south than I was expecting.

There was a washover here a year or two ago and everyone panicked then.

There's footage of the Coastguard vessel going out through there yesterday. 2.5m depth right across the channel and nice little lefts and rights happening.
Pretty amazing to think that three days ago it was solid.

The pics actually don't do it justice. To stand on the shoreline and look across it's pretty spectacular.

Just wait until the bar shifts there and you can walk from Bulcock.

Awesome!

Mitchell Rae posted some footage on the Outer Island Facebook page of someone getting an insane barrel at Kirra on one of his 8’ mal shapes.

Do you consider this likely?

[alakaboo]

Long term, yes.
The canal estates near Trev shifted the tidal prism balance, and the entrance was historically a few hundred metres south.

[foamy]

What is long term in this instance? 15 years, 50 years…….?

[Trev]

Long term, yes.
The canal estates near Trev shifted the tidal prism balance, and the entrance was historically a few hundred metres south.

I thought the canal development was only about 30 years old.

Could be before April with a decent La Nina.
Could be 20 years, but I would think less.
There's not that much sand north of there but it depends how the ebb tide delta responds. It could build up more of an island but retain the current bar location.

Yes Trev, the whole passage has had greater flow rates since then, part of the reason why it was getting eroded from the inside.

BMT WBM have done modelling, Matt Barnes did some of the work.
Not sure how much of it was made public.

A very enjoyable report by Nick on the Cyclone Seth swell. Great photos. Interesting to read that the paddlers vs jet ski crew seem to have come to a territorial arrangement at Kirra.

Yeah, read some of that. Looks good from the photos. I will watch when we get back to Sydney.

Great read, great pics!

What more can you ask for?

Hope this link works. A USC expert.

He does good work.

I will qualify my previous statement a bit. Golden Beach won't immediately get surf or get washed away within 2 years, like some of the local groups think.

I had a think through your earlier explanation about the canals and I can see how all the extra water stored in the canals (and they've just added a whole extra network of them between Pelican Waters shopping centre and Bells Creek), rushing through the one outlet near the Power Boat Club would have a serious impact on erosion on the inside of Bribie just north of there.
It would have the effect of pushing the natural outflow from further up the passage towards the east.

BTW, the gap is widening daily.

Again, the poo thread.
