allen glover Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 They have one only a couple hundred yards off the Lion now don't they ?? Dunno where its measurements are reported though ?? 38192[/snapback] These readings are taken from the wave rider in 100m about 8 miles off sydney heads. check this out for further info. MHL web site the yellow float that appeared in broken bay is actually an test acoustic sensor used to identify boats. well thats what waterways told me when I rang to ask em about it a yr ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmac Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 knapers if you're facing lion island from umina beach the left side of it. in certain swells a right hander breaks off it. you can see how it could build when theres a 2m swell around as it sucks up early towards the reef. if you go over it on your sounder you can see an exposed bit of reef that is shallower on the side than most. a couple of my mates a sponsored surfers and they just take things a bit too crazy. the day we were out i was on the ski, was towing them in. it doesnt break like that often, when its breaking box is usually going off as well. we do tow ins off a reef up at forresters beach also. "forries lefts" its right next to a right hand point break named bansai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knapers Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Ive heard of 'bansai' have you surfed centuries? Also do you reckon that box might be alright in a couple of days, maybe tomorrow? I think i know what your talking about with lion island as well, thats just mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmac Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 is centuries up near norah head? so many reefs have so many diff names :/ heaviest place ive surfed is the zone. was about 8-10ft when i surfed it well bodyboard it. was pretty heavy yeah id be watching box the next few days, when the wind buggers off, if its still raining it will turn glassy and thats when you wanna be there!!!!!

knapers Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I'd love to be there DJ but dad is goin away so i dont have a way of getting there. Gotta love rainy glassy conditions though. The Zone is wicked, i also reckon Newcastle harbour would be on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Forecast wind waves (sea) are calculated using the wind at the wind forecast location" Also no bouy indicated on the map just the forecast point http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/nsw/amfs/map.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
