Only five days to go and the swell/wind forecast is looking really good to kick off the event.



Can't wait.

Sunny Coast locals - how is the sand on the points at the moment?

Hey Casso , Supped first point last friday,heaps better than a week before.
Still breaking wider than normal but lined up nice at low tide.Make sure you guys check out Moffats , Carties or Coolum on the way through. Buddina has some great banks at the moment.
Forecast looks great.

From Ben Macartney:
"The high pressure ridge is likely to remain robust across our swell window this weekend, maintaining a consistent run of ESE swell across the region early next week – generally hovering around two to four feet on Monday and Tuesday. This activity may be enhanced by a tropical cyclone developing over the Coral Sea this weekend. Recent model runs push the system southward towards New Caledonia during the first half of next week, speculatively setting up a significant E swell across the entire East Coast through the second half of next week".

Note: The SUP surfing at NFoS is on Thu-Sun, next week.

Woo hoo! Maybe we will finally get an Australian SUP comp with great waves.

Hey guys, keep a look out for Mick Morgan at the contest he's entered the sup events.

Unfortunately mick's surf shop in norwa burnt down on monday and he's lost the lot.

He told me last night he's still going to noosa anyway.

I think he'll be needing a few beers.

Please ... can we go clockwise?

In the forecasted strong SE'er, going clockwise will give us:
- one direct downwind leg
- one up/crosswind leg
- one crosswind leg along the points with the waves (surfing all the way to the finish line).

Starting to get amped now - the latest draw is up:

http://www.surfindustries.com/noosa/NFOS-2010_round_01_heats_2.pdf

Looks like most of us will be surfing Thursday, no SUP on Friday then semis on Sat.

So for most of us I reckon Thursday night could be a big one!!!

Surf for Thursday is looking good with a 2.4 meter east swell forecast and offshore SE winds...woooo hoooo
