The period between 1 pm and 4 pm was the worse, up to 111 kmh winds and 4 mm of rain. The harbour buoys both registered gusts in the 50 knot range and beacon ten, which is well inside Koombana Bay hit over 0.44 metres. It usually its below 0.1.

This wasn't a standard winter front but a tropical low (those things that form cyclones up higher in summer) The barometric pressure dropped massively and suddenly as the the low past over us. It went from a fairly low for us 1005 at 6.00 am to under 985 about 1.00 ish. This is lower than many cyclones.

Surf wise tomorrow looks crap, howling westerlies, Tuesday is meant to be worse than today and Wednesday westerlies again in the 30 knot plus range.
