does anyone reckon this wind is going to be rideable down at the beach? or it just going to be crap stormy poo shi t
Went down to Woodies for a look today and they have blocked off the road just past the sailing club.
Mind you if it's NW then any of the south beach might be worth a look!!
We had some decent wind (20-30knots) today in SE/QLD thanks to TC Tony....pity it,s not going to last long 
Got me thinking of moving to WA 
well the forcast doesnt say its going to be that windy in the morning. just wondering if the wind is likly to ridable or if it would blowing the wrong way ect. prehapes just go surfing instead
I think that the cyclone will be a fizzer.
All noise no action
I reckon the wind will be a steady 25kn Nor West in the morning.
Then in the Arvo it'll go nuts with rain squalls and thunderstorms
Not too dis-similar to a winter front but minus the SW
But really - who knows
I would suggest get up early keep an eye on the radar and conditions.
Any steadying of wind/break is time to get amongst it
Any black evil nastiness coming in then get out of the water quick.
What i do reckon tho is that the swell will be thumpin
make sure you take a mate with you to either land you quickly if something nasty comes in or at least video your last moments doing what you love
clean the gutters, were gonna get some rain but no wind... I hope the surf is ok but theres no swell either!
Could be an epic morning... Would love to kite the right handers (if not too many death squalls) but still here in Bali... Enjoy, but keep an eye out.
why risk it tomorrow when after it passes you have green arrows for the rest of the week
I'll go to the beach and have a look if it ever gets windy..........it is hot, humid, heavy and nothing to do but sweat in front of this machine. I don't even try to suss what is going to happen because I don't kite at the moment, but also know that this frontal kiting stuff is a crap shoot....1 out of 5 times you might have a good session. The seabreeze graphs make it tempting to contemplate what might be, but odds are against you.
Im gunna get down the beach early and have looksie!! I have a feeling the cyclone won't be as bad as everyone makes out!!! if all else fails then its gunna have to be the ocean kayak :) win win
good look boys the cyclone only clipped us in gero and we got flogged well over 50knots no power for 6hours, but we're tough up here 6m rpm was the go.....
do u numptys look at the forcast at all??
6pm tonight in Perth she'll start to fire with rain and moderate winds. 9pm it will be steady. It's now a tropical low. (northerly winds pushing south combined with sw winds pushing north= cyclone lost intensity and fizzed out.
I bet you wouldn't be too happy DOONUT if a cyclone actually did flog the sh it out of your place and destroyed your car.. Obviously never been in one I think.. If you have you wouldn't be wishing for one to happen.
'74 floods in Brisbane will never happen again!!
Well they got that right!!DH's!!
2011 was way WORSE!!
Weather forecasting is a science!!!
Yeah right!!!!
... they predicted 4 cyclones to hit the Territory before Christmas, and we've had not one so unfortunately (or fortunately which ever way you look at it) the science is a little off. 
We reckon they send the apprentice forcasters to Darwin to get their bush wings, man they are constantly wrong 
Its gotta be one hell of a thankless job!!
Going off what was said on the news the recent flood didn't reach the same levels as the 74 flood. So i wouldn't say that they were wrong.
Being from SA, we just think it is bad Karma what happened. Better management of water an letting some of it reach SA earlier could have saved a lot of damage.
Hey Grumpy Sam....
The only reason Ipswich/Brisbane 2011 was worse than 1974 was dam release mismanagement. I've done the numbers personally relative to my clients properties. The inquiry will be interesting.
Flooding of Toowoomba / Lockyer was a real and different disaster.
To clarify my statement, both were disasters but one could have been managed to a much lesser impact with the right management plan.
