FORECAST FOR MORETON BAY
SE to E winds 10/15 knots. Highest seas to 1 metre offshore from Deception Bay
to Mud Island. Lighter S'ly winds in the southern and western bay during the
early morning. Isolated showers.
Friday ... S/SE winds 10 knots with afternoon NE sea breezes.
Saturday ... Variable winds 5/10 knots with afternoon sea breezes.

Now, with a forecast like that, everyone should be on the water.

The offshore seas were 1.2meters.

Let's see if the forecast is right ? What are the odds ?

I'd have to say it's looking 'Fair' Phil. That high pressure system sitting over us should produce light winds and there is not much rain forecast beyond a few inland showers :) - as long as the weatherman has it right ::)

Speaking of high pressure - was reading recently about barometric pressures and fish feeding activity. Haven't ever taken notice of Barometers when fishing before, but last fortnight the fishing was good and the pressure was high. Hope it starts a trend this weekend ;)

Cheers
Steve.
