Weather for Saturday 11/12/09

[timddo]

Looking at the weather.

Seabreeze says perfect day

and this is what bom says

Saturday: Wind: E/NE 10/15 knots ahead of a 15/20 knot SE change reaching as far north as Cape Morton by the afternoon. Sea: 1.7 metres. Isolated showers and thunderstorms


Now with that kind of a conditions - it's home for me. 1.7 meters is big sea's

[Crunchy]

I'm going out early and coming back early...should be nice in the early a.m.:)

[Micadogs]

If you look at the wind chart on the BOM then it suggests that Seabreeze is correct. (This is where Seabreeze gets its forecasts). I have found that the BOM is very late in updating its forecasts based on its own predictions. Check after 3.15pm today and the BOM and Seabreeze should match.

[tropicrows]

That was my thinking, as I am heading out late Sat arvo in the bay do drop a line. however the thunder storms may change my mind ????

[Lucky_Phill]

I'll be out very early and back before the rush hour...

Buoyweather and seabreeze are spot on.... BOM has issues.

I am finding this truely amazing.

If, as one should do, check the weather before venturing and you take notice of 2 respected weather forecasters and go, then the 3rd forecaster gets it right and the weather is crap and ya get into strife...who is to blame.... ?

[SWANO1]

just make sure your in a boat that can handle the worst forecast or simply dont go, pretty easy really .
see yas out there:D
cheers swano

[liltuffy]

Well I reckon it will be OK, looking at the 4 day chart and forecast chart, winds will generally be in accordance with seabreeze with the possibility of a bit of a squirt when the SE change and or storm comes through.

Heading to DI in the morning for three days

I got up this morning 2am, checked the latest observations which showed the SE change had come through and stronger than seabreeze predicted. Called my mate and cancelled trip out from Caloundra. Not much fun in 15-20 knots.

Currently 7 knots at the Cape, but both Inner Beacon and Peel Island have a solid 15 knot SE...

[PinHead]

There were quite a few potholes in the Bay this morning

[timddo]

So Bom was rite this time. At least you guys got out.
I spent the day doing christmass shopping and baiting shopping. ( at least that is all over and i can concentrate on fishing.)

[yanjarra]

so is heading out in a 4.2mtr tinnie to the rous channel for the 1st time to fish the evening run out today not the best idea??? or could i get away with it do you rekon? was it pretty rough those that have just gotten back?

[Crunchy]

For the record seabreeze was spot on for the sunny coast and BOM was way off, it was fair glassy up here.....
