From the sight of downed Air Asia flight.

Rescue boat captain Adil Triyanto told Fairfax Media that conditions at sea — above and beneath the waves — were wreaking havoc on their ability to search. Waves were five to six metres, he said.

Interesting

Yeah , I'm sure I saw aerial footage of waves ( proper ) whilst they were searching in the Javan Sea . Coincided with a big off season deluge in Malaysian Borneo .... New frontier ?!

Yep me too. Was stacked lines that I saw. But could not tell the distance. Dark be uncrowded eh. I have leased a place in Bali so if you keen for a mission lets go. Not flying airasia though or MLA

Wicked ....
I'm not moving from here ATM though , beaches were extremely good on Friday . And with this weeks forecast ..... Quality and ride lengths can only get longer . Couldn't believe my eyes when I struggled to get a carpark in cow country . Might have to start talking up the wrong days to thin the crowds .... 15 guys on one bank ..... Crazy town .
Only saviour was the almost wind swell like 11.5 sec interval , was mechanical ;-))

Hey Southey you said " MJO stall crawl could see the adjacent Sth High/Ridge give us some good weather down here"

Please explain Southey? Meaning a synoptic chart like today's? (2-3 days prior)

MVG
when the monsoon extends well into the interior , the resulting lower ( higher latitude ) Highs' ridges make for no frontal activity . Then we just see trough changes or stalls .
So in effect you will be lucky to get more than 12 hrs of sand bank destroying winds in as long as a week . This length of period really lets the banks consolidate . And if your in the right place at the right time , you'll discover that sandbanks down here can start to resemble point breaks of considerable length . And when the planets truly do align and the swell increases late in this period all while the offshores are maintained some banks will hold some serious size and the wave quality is as good as anywhere .
So generally speaking you can see strong fronts push up under SA , produce a swell then slide or retract down to the SE and sth of Tassie , whilst we are left with Indoesque light wind regimes and building swell .

OK I had the rough grasp of it, cheers. Always have to double check with you but since I've seen you mention wheat farmers :P Does much make it to/past Morris's side of Vicco? Or are there just too many obstacles?

Not sure where your heading with that , but Morris and Shaun are ' twins ' and live together . I would think the smallest west facing coasts like the prom would be as small as 2-3ft at the height of the next swell pulse . Not sure that answers all your questions , maybe it's all that milk that's gone to my head ! I think my lactose Intolerance will flair up come Thursday .

Posting in the early hours again southy, after work is it? What do you do for work southy, selling ekkys in King st. night clubs?

Be careful of accepting offers from strangers on the internet southy, it might sound wicked but think about it mate this bloke money bags mick offers you, a stranger to come on over for a surf trip with him, one has to ask, does he a have any mates of his own? Why is he trawling the internet inviting strangers to come surfing in remote locations with him, sure your not being groomed by Mick Taylor?

I'm a big boy Shaun . But thanks for the concern .
I often can only get work done at home at strange hours . Normal hours my kids are just too distracting . That and WA is three hours behind . Besides from what I can gather everyone wants to hang out with Morris .. Jealous mate ?!? ;-)
Get waves last Friday ? I was stuck on the Balkany again !
