Re: the chrissy/new year break....
Chrissie Day/Boxing Day is looking insane-o.
I want Nightclub Dwight dead in his grave I want the nice-nice up in blazes
Re: the chrissy/new year break....
youll have the swell, but the winds will be shit for the point shep.....perhaps join the byron circus...
dont forget about halftide if the sands in... or the rivermouth just near it. surprising how many
locals round there dont know about how good it can be in a ne swell
and i think the foecasters are massively undercooking the forecasts for sydney area next week. 4-6ft, are they farking serious perhaps they use the iggy scale

Maybe high tide main beach might be worth a look, or outside Wategoes...
otherwise, I'm thinking as that low slides SE winds will be lighter than forecast and the Point could be macking.

Though I don't like the odds of the rock fishing community getting through the coming week without some sort of death toll.
Re: the chrissy/new year break....
Well surely it can't be yet another two weeks of southerlies like we have had so far done here

Re: the chrissy/new year break....
Tuesday looks the day I reckon Steve for your local. Lighter winds and the swell will be more ironed out!!!
BTW - 10ft is a big call. Not saying I disagree with it.....just I don't think I've seen a forecast for SE Qld saying 10ft. Once it get's above 6-8ft+ it's all a bit subjective anyway.

Re: the chrissy/new year break....

calling wave size on big days is just a dick measuring comp.

Re: the chrissy/new year break....
10 ft of straight E swell would see 10 ft at outside Snapper and Currumbin;8-10ft at Burleigh, 6ft+atKirra and Boiling Pot and around 3-4ft at Johnsons/First Point, 3-5ft at the Pass on the right tide and 6ft at Main Beach Byron, 8-10 at the Ox etc etc .

Re: the chrissy/new year break....
Would Burls and Snapper actually hold that kind of swell Steve?

Re: the chrissy/new year break....
Just changed Xmas to New Year Plans
Looks like only being able to get as far as the mid Nth Coast but that should do the trick I think.
Now the horror of battling Boxing Day road exodus
Did it one year and kids were skateboarding down the expressway in between the stationary cars near Karuah

Re: the chrissy/new year break....
Well if that latest GFS forecast comes off I'd be thinking Kirra/Pot and First Point are all gonna be above your calls above Steve. I can't recall the last time I saw a swell forecast like this one.steve shearer wrote:10 ft of straight E swell would see 10 ft at outside Snapper and Currumbin;8-10ft at Burleigh, 6ft+atKirra and Boiling Pot and around 3-4ft at Johnsons/First Point, 3-5ft at the Pass on the right tide and 6ft at Main Beach Byron, 8-10 at the Ox etc etc .

Re: the chrissy/new year break....
I had a look at the archive charts yesterday Steve from Xmas 2008 to early Jan 2009 and couldn't see it....but these were only 1 chart per day....but if you reckon it sat there for a week, then I would have thought I would have seen it. Dates?

Re: the chrissy/new year break....
Sorry Don.
It was first week of 2009.
BOM low res charts don't do it much justice......if I get 5 mins I'll try and dig up my surf report shots from those dates.
I saw the tow-in sessions with my own eyes though and spent a couple of frustrating days getting pounded trying to paddle-out to 10ft Lennox Point.

Archives are showing 16ft@10sec on Dec 31 2007.
Current GFS forecast is still showing something bigger than this for this Xmas.
