yeah, I've been noticing that too Don. will try and riff on it today if I get a chance.
ties in with a few things relating to what seems to be a weakening El Nino signal.

Yep that low over near the North Island will produce one of the better swells of the last few weeks. Keep Saturday morning free and go searching.

Re: Winter: La Nina refuses to leave the building.
seeing as the surf has been bumping along the bottom at around a foot for the last three weeks that won't be hard Craig

Unfortunately, the bloody peak of the swell looks to occur pre dawn, and as I said above, every surfer within 300km of the coast will be flocking to a beach near you on Saturday morning as we've not had any surf for 3-4 weeks now!!!SAsurfa wrote:Yep that low over near the North Island will produce one of the better swells of the last few weeks.

Actually, both long range GFS and EC are painting a pretty good picture for this system at the moment....but I'm not holding my breathsteve shearer wrote:yeah, I've been noticing that too Don. will try and riff on it today if I get a chance.
I'm not sure it's weakening Steve....those super long range charts of constant back to back W'ly winds are painting a very bleak picture of a long hot dry Spring in these parts.....all pointing to a strengthening El Nino IMO.steve shearer wrote:ties in with a few things relating to what seems to be a weakening El Nino signal.

Re: Winter: La Nina refuses to leave the building.
FWIW, which is pretty much farking nothing, I'm inclined to agree about Spring, but calling this winter the worst in recent memory indicates that your memory is shit SS.steve shearer wrote:I predict we'll go from the worst winter in recent memory to an equally tragic spring.
Hasn't been great, but we had late summer type north coast NSW/SE qld type lows into June, I'm pretty sure about that because some bloke on realsurf started a thread called something like "La Nina refuses to leave the building" and he was frothing about how we were getting these east and nor east swells out of season, and up until a couple of weeks ago there was a succession of the standard winter lows doing their usual thing.
Admittedly, most of those didn't line up perfectly and most of them had the not unusual characteristic of being onshore so that the window of surf was probably smaller than expected.
But worst winter in recent memory!!!!!
Coldest Sydney winter in recent memory I'll go with.
Cheers.

I was thinking light-moderate SW/S winds inshore early, tending moderate, perhaps the odd fresh gust S/SE later in the morning.fongss wrote:Hmmmm.....so long its not got a mid strength southerly wind as company, has it? I was thinkin/hope calm winds early?
Re: Winter: La Nina refuses to leave the building.
Mon-tues be better Fong. Winds should be light during AM.
Dawn bite, with tide turn mid morn give a few windows of activity.

Re: Winter: La Nina refuses to leave the building.
Well at least I got a wave today. Had to scarper early for the tablelands but it felt like the forecast east had not arrived this morning.

Re: Winter: La Nina refuses to leave the building.
Glad I had to scarper. Something unseemly about frothing over (just) 2 footers on a cold September morning. Desperate times ay.
