Hey Dan - after being stuck 8-6 for the last 6 months - its so good to have it on tap again. COLD though!!! But good still. Hope all is well for you my friend. Will catch up soon.
Snapped these off down south today scouting tracks and accesibility. One of these breaks is at least mast and a half and thats on a 3.5 m swell. I marine a 6 meter!!
Trial Harbour must be worth a try, that's a great photo Dave, looks like a pretty clean channel to get out through and a great wave. Felix and I are keen to give it a go but it will take you Pottssy to lure us out.
Can't see any kelp on the wave so that's a bonus and doesn't look that dangerous.
Need to do it while you're still in the state mate.
Oh - god yes - Trial would be fantastic! The problem is that we need a SSE for the left. Does the right work ok in a NNW or NW. I have sen it hold up beautifully in an Easterly for surfing but it looks a bit fat in cross shore winds.
Where these photos from yesterday?
We've gone Red again...woohoo..hopefully this time it will happen...forcast looks good but not sure if its the best Direction for the west coast...there must be some options over there somewhere
According to their Facebook page they have 12hours to go until final decision to come to tassie!!! I hope it holds up for them.
Yer this weekend looks like it going to off up there........not! All of about 5 kts.
So when is this storm predicted? End of next week I presume
Does anyone know of a car rental company that lets you rent in Melbourne and drive to and around Tassy and back. We have a heap of gear and people planned to come into Melbourne and then travel across on the ferry?
Storm we are looking at is Mid to end next week.
Another Red Bull Storm Chase down - this time for airport strikes!! This is so much harder than I expected. Looks like we have a month break now for the PWA then October they are still keen to do at least one mission here.
Damn..such a big thing to organize and bring together....I just organized 3 days off next week...hopefully next time it will fall on a weekend
Your right Jez...the winds still going to be about so maybe a trip to the NW or west coast anyway may be the go...Thurs doesnt look too bad for the Henty. Will be bloody cold though...wont be going anywhere near those big swells...have to be a bit nuts to go out in them
Hey guys who can make it the end of this week. Including Saturday - 7m swell 15 second period! Low tide! 40knts! FAAAAAARRRRRKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!
Hey Does anyone know of a professional camera guy in Tasmania? Or Vic - they need to be able to come to Marrawah and be ready for Friday and Saturday.
