Looks like the west coast is about to get some serius swell maybe even Perth way if it moves south.Dust off the guns boys

^seems to be taking a similar track as Alby, so far...

Another one of these would be the go, minus the deaths of course..

Would soon sort out the dune reclamation and lackluster banks around Perth. Those of you from your late 30's onwards would remember the way Perth waves used to be. Floreat was breaking 100+m out after Alby.

And the Floreat surf club almost fell into the water as a result!

That would be right we finally look like getting some summer swell, I've got two weeks off and I'm flying East.......Arghhhh.

Dont despair, there is a cyclone off the East Coast as well, should be some good swell as a result

I'm glad you got some waves where you are Thommo.......

Got up before the sun to visit my local just north of Perth to find ankle high waves lapping against the shore

I quess i really should have known better hey! Consolation was I wasn't on my own looking at that time. A few other dissapointed folk out there too

A small handful of 'in the know' locals enjoyed the direct benefits of ex tropical cyclone Bianca...., that being some very rare west swells (+N/E winds) hitting a certain 'down south' beachy. They enjoyed some very long right hand walls and 'speed run' smoking barrels..., waves were winding south along the beach. It was only 1.5 -2 mtrs..., but was just like some northern NSW point break unwinding along the beach...., until about 2 pm when the wind turned S/E and chopped it up a bit.

Where is Mitchell Rock ?

Is it per chance 'down south'..., specifically is it near to Joeys Nose ?
