Summer has teeth

Well what a difference a couple of weeks makes. Here I was whinging about swell and then it all started cranking up. At the moment we have a monsoonal low system that is trying to fire up off the central coast of Queensland. All of the forecasts have changed radically every 6 hours over the last 18 hours. At this stage we are looking at a low pressure system that may or may not develop into a cyclone. It may or may not turn SE or SW and smash the coast but it will definitely intensify over the next couple of days. If it gets really big the banks out the point are gone for sure, but we may get 1-2 days of big goodness if the wind behaves itself. Most websites are calling for something between 10-20 feet for about the next 5 days with southerly winds. It is a matter of time right now, what have you got up your sleeve Huey ?

Whinge and win

The amazing power of the internet has been revealed once again. The day I wrote my previous post the surf cranked up in a decidedly un- summerish fashion. We've had swell and light S-SW winds for a week. The sand out at the point has been groomed almost perfectly so there are barrels no matter what the tide is doing. There may be a problem with writing this without whinging so I'll finish by saying "Come on Huey, bring it on!"

I am only posting text at the moment because Telstra throttled us for downloading over 12 gigs. Bastards.
