The planets are aligning. The ducks are in a row. The show is ready to roll. Yep, the Noosa Festival of Surfing is set to start this weekend, and wouldn't you know it, Tropical Cyclone Sandra was named and framed this morning. The Category 1 'clone will slowly move toward the coast squeezing a high pressure ridge as she goes. And that, my friends, means waves, especially at Noosa where the orientation will provide protection from the wind. Let the logging begin.
