Re: Just general surfing stuff
They seem pretty accurate for the breaks around MR. Swell size varying by up to 60% along a 40k coastline

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Have you cross-referenced the calls with reality across the breaks for a significant period of time?
if not, then you're guessing too.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
About 5 breaks over about 10 days, but I've known of the differences over 100s of days spread over many years, so it's just confirming what I already knew - it's just that Surf Forecast is getting it right that's news for me as I haven't surfed here for decades.
Oh, and it's still consistently incorrect for the Perth breaks that I surf.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Have you surfed the Sand Engine?
I've seen a lot of presentations from Delft about it but don't have any accounts of what the breaks are actually like to surf.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Well it's going to be packed from now on, now that it's gotten a mention on Realsurf.
Just look at what's happened to Wales since godsavethequeen started spruiking it.
You'll be lucky to get a park.

Yeah. But I heard someone say that there’s no windows in Wales. I’ll be buggered if I’ll ever live in a country with no windows. Fuck that for a joke.
