Another week forecast for no seabreezes


All gonna depend on ocean temperatures in Southern & Indian Ocean for the High's to develop, and its interaction with whats happening inland on our coast. Anybody's geuss? My best geuss is will stabilise later in season???? may be a shorter season, or could start late finish late?

Looking at this chart: www.bom.gov.au/australia/charts/viewer/?IDCODE=IDX0033 You see a lot of lows relatively high up, with only a weak high in the middle certainly next 10 days or so looked stuffed!!!!!!!!!

I'm happy if it is a late one as I can't sail til next week.

Last Nov Greenhead was on for 20 days out of 30 (or however many Nov has )

Should get a one day 'just enuf puff' in a couple of days when this trough moves in??

Check the size and height of the lows in Indean Ocean not looking good More likely to get one or 2 days of frontal winds ??

This season seems to be following the trend...

The Antarctic high is weakening, low's around Antarctica are further south, high's (the one's that drove the seabreeze) are further south. This pattern = more troughs for WA, humidity etc etc. Interestingly, we seem to get some weak cold fronts meeting the heat troughs... this may be due to the pacific ocean high and associated heat troughs across Sadelaide, Vicki and Tas... Essentially, the tropical low's come further south coz of collapse of the antarctic high and the frontal low's are squeezed further north because of the strong high (and associated toughs) in the east...

Not looking good... Once the fronts disappear, I think we will see infrequent, but strong sea breezes, and then a late kick in the sea breeze season around April...

Pugsy's top tip... look out for the tropical cyclone fall out which will hit the southern parts one year soon...

Leech is going to Albany of all places.
And why would you drive all the way to Gero when you can drive *EDIT* and get just as good waves?
