generally find seabreeze is spot on for wind predictions
but this thurs
BOM Forecast NW/SW winds 20/25 knots reaching S/SW 20/30 knots by the afternoon
compare to seabreeze graph
was planning surf trip to rotto based on seabreeze - dont think so
I would not do so either, because I just reverse-engineered the Seabreeze algorithm for weather forecasting.
It goes like (excuse the bad German-English translation): If the cock crows on the dung, the weather is gonna change, or it is gonna stay like it is.

Just remember, Thursday hasn't happened yet, so nobody is "right" until it happens... ![]()
If you click the 7 day forecast, it takes you through to the syntopics page where you'll see a mild frontal may develop, depending on other factors... currently the forecast gradient is still pretty large:

Winter is all about reading synoptics as well. That way you understand the reasoning "why" a forecast is what it is .. the weather patterns change a heck of a lot faster in winter, than in summer.

Mmmmm that would make it hard to decide what to do.
I think it's the time of the year when the dart board and blindfold come out.
Seriously though things change that quickly at this time of year that it is hard to predict a couple of days out.
My motto is you've gotta be in it to win it, yeah it it might turn ugly but then again.............
not having a go at u laurie
generally i find seabreeze predictions spot on especially a day or so out
dont worry i study the weather very closely and the synoptic chats ahve been showing a front on thurs am for a few days
my point was gulf betwen 20/30 kn ssw or light easterlie no wind
i hope seabreeze is correct
Ok is there any whiz out there who can make a smart statement about Melbourne's weather tomorrow?
From 4 knots (windfinder) to 15-25 knots (BOM) it seems all possible..
Mondays forecast for Perth looks....interesting, check out the swell forecast going up at a 45degree angle throughout the day from 2-5mtrs. ![]()
