Looking at the long range marine forecasts there are some good nnw on computer model for next Friday - and looks like continuing in to Saturday nnw - keep your eye on it and make sure your gear is in good working order - there is some wsw swell predicted late next week as well.
The last weekend of May just might be what we've been waiting for -- watch this space --low tide at the mid at 0930 0.74 Victor Harbor High at 12.00 (1.34)
If the forecast is good Weds / Thurs we'll call it so make a tentative booking now.
i'm booked out next sat. but i'll have to get out of it. hopefully day st fires. pumping logo high down here now
this is as big as south ever gets,its the dump,taken onswellnet this year.
never seen it break that far out.solid 7ft??maybe
When they had the aussie titles at the dump in the early 80s it was 8to 10ft,
mark richards and co,and apparently no one was real keen on going out,wonder why?...just some trivia for the bored..
Had a surf at middleton today, huge paddle out thru the bay and coped plenty of sets on the head.Sat at least 500mtrs out the back with some sets breaking even futher out.It was suprisingly glassy out there and with plenty of double head high+ waves to be had. ..,,,,
Sounds like you would have been sitting out aligned with Frenchies reef Craig - spaghetti arm paddle with a lung full of water on the sets - were you on your 8 ftr?
MMMMMMMMMMM - what to do - the wind models are conflicting about Sat and Sunday
Longer-term forecast (6+ days):
N/NW winds should continue on Saturday as the low stalls in the Bight and begins to weaken. There may be a minor increase in windswell along the Mid Coast on this day, but probably nothing worth surfing. The South Coast will continue to see clean conditions, although the surf will probably drop back to only 1-2ft at more exposed breaks like Goolwa,
There is the potential for a new pulse of W'ly swell along the Mid Coast on Sunday, stemming from a W'ly fetch that is expected to form along the northern side of the low on Friday (as it pushes up towards southern WA). This may produce some 1-2ft waves, although winds look like remaining onshore from the W/NW at this stage. The South Coast will be a little cleaner but may not see any real benefit from this new swell due to its W'ly direction. This situation will be reviewed in the next forecast on Wednesday.
What does everyone think about the Express sesh this weekend.
Saturday is looking good for 20-25knt nthlies at the mid but wave size will be waist to chest high. Low tide and NNE wind Triggs or the rights between U's and Three poles???
Day street sounds like straight off shore 1-2ft sat. Sunday bigger at the mid and smaller at Middleton - as per swellnet
Do we sail cross off small waves at the mid or hold off for another week - or hope sunday delivers with nw's and small waves at Day st.
Opinions folks decision by 12pm Thursday
A bit more swell would be nice
, but happy either way.
Can't wait to go sailing. What time will we run it on saturday, when will the tides be best?
marty
