Re: Autumn - How's it lookin?
Hey Steve, I'm just wondering when do you ever call a spade a spade and admit the forecast was wrong? Here's your extract from your forecast today, wrapping up the swell from the weekend (where you forecast 2-3ft for Saturday and 2ft on Sunday for SE Qld/Nth NSW).
"The weekend ran fairly close to script with some well shaped leftover ENE swell on Sat in the 2-3ft range brushed clean by the offshore flow of a developing low in the Tasman. Sunday saw some clean smaller leftovers in the 2ft range with good shape on offer."
Please show me anywhere in SE QLD/Nth NSW that was 2-3ft on Saturday. Every report on SN came in at 1-2ft from what I saw, and the wave buoys reflected this. Sunday saw a definite new pulse of tradewind swell with an easy 2-3ft of swell on offer on Sunday....and most of the reports confirmed this along with wave buoy readings....bigger again at the swell magnets. (3ft+)

Yeah, sorry Don, happy to admit when something is over or under-called.
That fetch was a fizzer but I got a reliable report from Ballina on Sat arvo of 2-3ft surf.
Did you actually see it yourself?

Re: Autumn - How's it lookin?
I'm not sure Saturday arvo is Sat morning. The swell started to rise late on Sat arvo but that was from the fetch that produced the goods (2-3ft) on Sunday IMO. I recall your forecast was 2-3ft on Saturday morning, waning throughout the day to be 2ft come Sunday morning. My point was it was exactly the opposite. Small, weak 1-2ft on Saturday morning building late in the day, with still 2-3ft (3ft+ at the magnets) on Sunday.steve shearer wrote:Yeah, sorry Don, happy to admit when something is over or under-called.

No I didn't surf it, but I got reliable reports from both days.
Anyway, this is almost a week on from the event now so I'm happy to move on.
