G'day Craig,
So is Saturday and Sunday most definitely going to be northerly winds in Mornington or is there still a slim chance winds could Change to a NW again? I know this might sound like your repeating yourself but I'm just curious.

Tom.P you said the same thing in Wednesday's forecast. Stop being an annoying pest and read the fucken forecast. If you don't trust what Craig's saying go to coastal watch instead

Shut up goofy foot, didn't ask for ur input PAL. Pretty sure it's Craig's job to be answering questions, which is why they have a comment section in the notes you spud.

Spud, you're questioning what he's saying, making him repeat himself, as if you don't believe what he's saying! Asking him "most definitely", are you serious?! PAL

Now Tom, I don't wish to be intimidating by throwing my scuplted and muscular frame around, but it's not really good form for you to be telling me ol' mate Craig what is 'his job' any more than me telling you that it's your job to be kind of like Gary but worse at surfing, weights, and self administered spray tans.

The comments sections are for intelligent discussion, such as my insights.

Pretty sure you've got enough information to go and catch yourself a few Faceys without asking Craig to cut and paste sections of the text immediately above your question.

Yeah I got to agree with goofy and Gary.g honestly Tom.P sort yourself out mate he has given you a clear explanation of what the winds are like mate there not going to to go NNW it's going to be N-NE which will make it clean and off its tits so I hope you enjoy your trip and get some barrels but just remember mate read the forecast notes properly they are pretty detailed

You no what,
I am sick and tired of blokes like you goofy, Gary the bloody gherkin and nick.F raging at people who are just asking a simple question that takes 30 seconds to respond. Yes this is only a small part of the Craig's job but there is a comment section here to ask questions even you blokes ( names Stated above) think they stupid or irrelevant. You seem like the most arrogant blokes especially you Gary the gherkin who even calls themselves that ( if it's actually your normal name I feel sorry for you ) like honestly mate fucking grow up and stop trying to been funny and a fucking hero. Nobody wants your impute it's not needed, your just some potato from Frankston who can't count to 5 surprised you can even read or write comments on this it's beyond me. Also Gary your not intimidating at all mate your probs some 5ft bloke who has no muscle and is a kayaker. Stick to rye front beach and just kayak around the beach like an absolute spud. Don't need negative blokes like you commenting and ripping into someone about asking a question so just kayak your way back to Frankston you flog. Also nick.f and goofy just chirp down seriously just simmer your comments are not needed he is just asking a question

Haha pretty funny bitching.

Some on here are to damned spoilt in regards to someone else forecasting your every move before you even get in the car and chance it or have a look.

In this day and age count yourselves very lucky for the precise forecasting that Craig and Ben toil over for hours to present to the public. Lucky for us they both are so amped with their own passion in forecasting surf to pursue a job like this.

What would happen if they produced one synoptic chart daily and no notes for everyone, then I'm sure many of you would have no idea at all. Which is a shame as living where we live for years we should have a general knowledge of the weather....! Yes?

Just look outside at the clouds everyday which could probably be a good start and go with your gut feeling.. ;-)
Peace and carves...........

Craig, can you please remove the comments section from the Victorian forecast notes.
Cheers.
From every Surfcoast, Peninsula and Phillip Island locals

Hi Sorrento,

One of Gary's skills, aside from weights and correct use of apostrophes, is knowing when not to get in an Internet stoush. Hard to believe I'm good at everything but hey!

Gary is a (very able) lover not a fighter, and Doesn't want swellnet to turn into a stab mag comment thread so he's going to bow out here.

Something to consider though: we all get a lot of value from the comments section, for different reasons. For the enjoyment of everyone how about we read the articles before asking questions and don't tell the providers of this wonderful service what their job is or isn't.

Peace out, your one and only, Gary

As I said, this is a small part of what craig and the team do which is replying to comments as I no they do so much more which I think is awesome. Plus this is the only surf website that does forecast notes, so I am not telling them what there job is and isn't, so don't no where you go that from Gary the gherkin ( lol your name is really good mate).

Something to consider though,
Your apostrophes may be good, but your commas need some work. In your last paragraph when you say " before asking questions and don't tell providers" it should actually have a comma after questions. I guess that's the education that your were taught at Frankston High, but don't worry you might still be able to make the big time. Just something to consider though obvoulsy,

Peace out, Sorrento

As I've dished it out I've gotta take that, Sorrento. It tells you much about my education that I missed such a comma, I certainly can't have been educated at Oxford.

Anyway, peace to you I'm off to do some manscaping. May see you getting a few faceys at some stage. I'm kinda hard to miss.

Guys it was pumping all weekend. Spring wonderland. Warm weather, groomed consistent swell, unreal banks and no summer heads. Hope everybody has a smile on their dial now. Fun in the sun.
