Wave Nationals

Hey Crew-

I have spoken to the organisers of the wave nationals just want to give everyone the heads up on the deal.

Get onto the site and pre register to get your t shirt included for free with your entry- if you sign up on site at the comp you will have to pay extra- so save $30 and pre register !

If you are not getting there till late and are worried you will miss the competition sign up for the amateurs anyway- you will get your t shirt and be able to enter the big air and downwind race and any other events that happen.

Lots of people have puut in major effort to make this happen- get behind it and support it !!!!!!!!!

Not to get too excited by long-range forcasts.... but just saw this on swellnet
Longer-term forecast (6+ days):

A stronger boost in SW swell is possible on Thursday from a low pressure system that is expected to deepen to the south of South Australia during Tuesday. This may help to push wave heights up to 3-4ft+ at exposed South Coast locations on Thursday, while Middleton and Knights may reach 2-3ft+. The SW swell direction will probably limit any increase on the Mid Coast to around 1-1.5ft.

Winds on Thursday morning may remain moderate from the E/SE as a high drifts under the state and a low pressure trough forms near Port Lincoln. A moderate to fresh sea breeze may then develop in the afternoon, but this will have to be looked at again in the next forecast on Monday. Overall though the South Coast will probably see bumpy and average conditions despite the boost in SW swell. The Mid Coast may end up being a better option early to mid afternoon with a small pulse of swell on the incoming tide.

The longer-term outlook is for the swell to ease on Friday, while winds will probably tend S'ly and freshen in the wake of a low pressure trough. Swell prospects for next weekend are looking promising at this stage with most computer models indicating that a large low pressure system will pass to the south of WA mid next week. It is still too early to be sure if wind conditions will cooperate next weekend, so please check back on Monday for an update on this situation.
fingers crossed for wind and swell

Fore cast for this weeks Nationals is looking the goods,

Wednesday and Thursday may be a bit sluggish, but from Friday midday onwards, its look out Irene.

According to the Elders weather forecast, which is my most trusting,
www.eldersweather.com.au/local-forecast/sa/robe

and then from the Bouyweather forecast-

www.buoyweather.com/wxnav5.jsp?region=AS&program=nww3BW1&grb=nww3&latitude=-37.0&longitude=138.75&zone=10&units=e

All looks solid for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Swell could be a bit better, but we'll work around that, might just have to head over to Stonies Rise for the bigger waves if thats whats required!

Thank God! was almost peaking there for a bit!

ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...i am heading off tomorrow morning- if you see me around the place coma and say gday- I think I will be the only albino tiger in town.

GAME ON
