Drop a cyclone

Interesting stuff.

Unpublished data from the Australian region suggests that the poleward shift is not as strong here as elsewhere in the Pacific around countries such as Fiji and New Zealand, but it could still have an impact, says Dr Hamish Ramsay of Monash University, who wrote an accompanying commentary in Nature.

"If this shift in poleward activity continues then cities and towns further south along the Australian coastlines may be susceptible to more destructive storms," says Ramsay.

Drawing a very long bow (and I'm extremely reluctant to do so), such a scenario would tip the hat slightly in favour of the East Coast's surf potential. But, I doubt it could be in any way measurable, for all of the reasons previously discussed about how flukey and unreliable swell prospects are from tropical cyclones.

Still, it's an interesting discussion point. Thanks for the link JB.

Here we go again. WAMS look to show something.
