Apparently Collective Thought can have a HUGE Influence!!!!

With the current forecast for the Central WA Coast in mind i think all of us heading to Kitestock need to start Focusing our thoughts on solid 20 - 30 knots for Dongara
From Thursday thru to Sunday!!!! Swell 1 - 2 metres

Hey Weta,

Those big thick pointy lines don't usually make it as far as Dongara. The heat forecast for Thursday would indicate a trough pattern forming. What synoptics are you looking at that give you 7 day prognosis?

High heat is BAD, usually means a decent high with centre below Perth. The direction of the wind as it goes inland fights off the seabreeze and cancels it out.

Watch for a low up north that will extend it's claws southward and link up with the stalled weather to form a lovely heat trough.

Hope I'm wrong, but then again, we're a week out and anything can happen.
