If it is the same bald fellow he has ventured to the other side of Mandurah and brought the attitude with him.
The way he went on about a drop in from a local who immediately apologised you would have through we were at pipeline and it was the wave of the year.
They are only waves and there will be another one coming so I dont get the way some guys get worked up.
As to the crowd factor we really need to find a relatively low cost way to catch some of the lateral sand drift and make more banks in metro Perth.
Groynes have to much impact as they build up sand to south and scour to the north on the WA coast.
Surely something say 100m out could be anchored to catch sand.
From Swanbourne to Triggs we could have quality waves with some investment.
When you take the number of watercraft users it is no different to investing in footy ovals etc
was worth a shot !! hoping to get some time one day to do some more research with the new anchouring system
it was a full covert operation 3am black opp will try and find data /modeling of my old computer ,still have the WAD!, cant let it go much to my wifes dissapointment
,still have the WAD!,
,still have the WAD!,the guys involved before left town years ago, think most is there maybe need some more chain
would love to see what impact digging out a semi circle of sand with excavator and putting it to the side has and if it would create a bank.
If you watch a straight beach it still gets dips and almost circular motion going.
I often wondered if a little tampering could assist creating a channel and rip effect and create a left or right or maybe both.
To date it seems the waves where it was decided to attempt to create a wave have been limited in success. The best waves such as sand spit santa barbara which is the result of a harbour and is a by product.
Crazy backwash but still an amazing wave
That would just kill secrets well and truly, lol. You wouldnt be able to park your car anywhere nr the break. Nice thought though, a wave like that one side of the man made structure and a wedge(newport) kind of wave on the other side.
from what i remember the engineers said that only lasts about 1-2 days depending on wind/swell/tides they got the same effect using a slurry pump in NZ. you have to have a structure that keeps the scouring and deposits consistent.
Hey Dave (Katana) was that with Andrew? Have you spoke to him lately? I reckon he is still keen as
does he still work for met ocean
it would be good to get that going again probably easier to get help this time city of stirling were keen to talk but got railroaded DPI.i heard joondalup council were keen to do something with two rock board riders ,one of our earlier test areas .
does he still work for met ocean

Anyone else noticed there is some really unseasonal erosion along the coast at the moment? I just arrived home after a month away and cannot believe the amount of erosion and yet the large amount of weed still around the place. At Dawesville, the trap is full already, like really, really full. Anyone know if the plan is to pump out the trap this year?
