Have been down the beach this arvo, taken my before photos, was eerily calm, very wierd.

Well and truly the calm before the storm.

Usually I'd be frothing for a system like this, however I'm not sure how our side of the bay is going to take it. There is barely any beach left at the northern end Safety Beach as is. It's as bare as I've seen. Pushing past the the beach boxes, eroding soil and fencing that's been there for years a...

00Z run - UK, EC, GFS, ICON, Access's & JMA all going for the multi surface low pressure 'fujiwhara effect' spawning from the cut off mothership upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex for Friday. Access G going for a 978 hPa cold core cyclone in Bass strait. The Spirit of Tassie will need to carry ...

Welcome WZ'ers!

I made the jump a couple of years ago, I don't understand the anti-AWF rhetoric on WZ, I've had quite the opposite experience.

Love it here, hope you all enjoy it too!

Strangely muggy on the peninsula today, 84% humidity, 15 degrees feels about 20!

Massive non-event down here, and by the looks of the radar, not much is about to change, this morning it was too west, this arvo looks too east.

Looks almost identical to the June 12th event!

Big hole over the metro area.

Soaked down here on the Peninsula, started around 8am and hasn't stopped

Non stop drizzle to steady rain for about 3 hours on the southern end of the peninsula. Has not stopped once. Absolutely drenched. Exactly what we needed this is awesome. Good stuff! Light enough to appear patchy on the radar but it's constant, by the looks of it still a few more hours to go :-D :-D

Quick scramble to fertilize front and back paying off. Hammering down here!

Big fat blob of orange and yellow on a collision course for safety beach! Please don't break up!!

Slightly too far north for my area sadly, great Falls just north. Very jealous.

Split right over the bay and a big miss for Safety Beach, annoying

Heaps of flashes and rumbles on the Peninsula! Bring it on!!!

Whilst I love the heat and despise the cold, I know it's not good for our planet. There is no way 20 years ago I could still be sitting on the beach and swimming/surfing in the bay/ocean pretty comfortably in nothing but boardies this close to June. Anyway, good welcome rain on the ninch this mornin...

Safety Beach towards Portsea, sorry for the quality. Taken on a phone haha. Constant out there. Stormy skies and sandy feet nothing better

What I'd give to push this thing a little more east. Looks awesome to be in! Happy to be sat on the sand in boardies and tee watching in May!

Strangely enough my Instagram just reminded me of on this day 2 years ago, same set up, intense light show over the bay!

Epic view on Safety Beach, going to stay dry however.. just!!

Expecting sweet F.A. out of this one for my area unfortunately.

For those interested.. 20ft at Bells tomorrow for the Rippy!!

Epic day of surfing ahead
