Please have a look at this:

www.goes.noaa.gov/sohemi/sohemiloops/shirgmscol.html

you can see the systems of the two eyes.

A CATEGORY five cyclone is charging across the Coral Sea towards North Queensland.

Tropical cyclone Ului is now southeast of the Solomon Islands after building rapidly from a category three on Saturday to a category five on Sunday morning.

Queensland's Bureau of Meteorology says the cyclone is packing wind gusts of up to 290km/h.

Cyclone is moving 15km an hour and can land in NQ on Wednesday.

Thats 2 big systems. I would be a bit nervous on a boat up there. But then I guess there will be plenty of swell down the coast.

the two systems are moving fast.
seems like the first one is going slightly NW and the second one a bit more SW cld travel towards SE Qld.

Swell, rain and lots of wind guaranteed..

The second system is called "Thomas" and will be all over Fiji by the looks..

A trip up to Elliott Heads on Sunday might be interesting



Just checked it out and the thread is up to 100 pages....
I wonder if their forum also gets full of trolls when there's no wind?

Don't worry I'm sure it will be pretty well documented. It's looking like its gonna be pretty solid and the question is going to be if it's too big or not. I've never seen a swell this big let alone that direction so it will be interesting to see if it actually holds.

Keahi where's the best spot gonna be on the Sunny coast for this one - I've heard Teatree can hold up to 12 foot ok but what's gonna work with wind+waves up there?

Who else is keen for a Saturday session on the Sunny coast?
