Battering

This front is a beauty. Winds have been over 75 ks a few times during the night and it is still smashing through. At 6.00 am the wind was a gentle 76 kmh. Overnight it sounded like trucks were smashing into the house.

We are being hit by the low behind the main front. It's always worse when you can see speckled clouds on the satelitte following the main band and that is what we have at the moment.

It will be interesting to see what the beach is like. The swell at Naturaliste has doubled since lunch time yesterday and is now sitting near six metres. The harbour is nearly 1.3 but the seas are a touch under two metres. The ocean will be a good thing to look at but not to venture into.
