Call me when February is done

Fen is always a shitty month for surf in WA. It hasn't mattered where I've lived it has always been the same. Bunbury is probably the worst because when it's flat, it's flat everywhere. At least when I lived in Dunsborough you could go hunting to find enough dribble to push you a little.

I was looking at the blog entries from last year and they are basically the same as these (minus the cyclone swells !). The only positive is that as the shortest month of the year it's almost gone.

Cyclone Carlos seems to be tracking on a similar path to Di and Biancca. It's predicted to be stronger for longer than Dianne so maybe we'll get something a little biggerband longer than Monday. However it wasn't was well formed so there is a very good chance of jack. Anyway if it does arrive it will probably be on Sunday and packed again.

Don't get excited

The forecast is for a very short lived 2 metre swell tomorrow with north easterly winds.

One report claims it's from Cyclone Dianne but it is probably too far away at the moment. The winds are up to 160 odd kph so there could be some swell from it but considering how close Bianca had to get to send a day of waves it might be a bit early to wax up the gun.
