Major swell alert for Nth NSW & S/E QLD

Building swell from next tuesday increasing through the week, peaking thursday around 7pm possibly reaching in excess of 15' check this site showing off the scale 5m plus http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/qld4.asp
bit of a bugger about the easterly winds around 30knots to go with it. Although there's nowhere that'll handle that size anyway, apart from inside river mouths,
possibly spot x on morton isl. or double island point. Hey chris [malajusted]
you could be on up at 1770/agnes.
This forcast could and probably will change. Check out http://www.lajollasurf.org/gblpac.html as well sth west pacific 7 day animation confirms size. More erosion coming up just as the banks were starting to come back. AB

G`day folks, Noosa is looking promising for the next few days-missed out today but will be there tommorrow.
Anywhere that can handle a se wind will be pumping.

G`day Albert, the wind hasn`t struck here yet.
Just checked out webcam, Noosa 4ft light offshore and sunny. Heading down after breakfast.
Only surfed once since NZ-it was 1-2ft but enjoyable.

G`day Kev, there are a few pics on Coastalwatch tonight.
Thursday was beeuutiful, got up to 6ft by nightfall.
Bit of a current though, woke up on Friday sore, got some Dencorub before heading down again.
Pleanty of waves on Friday but the current was horrendous-paddled out at Ti Tree to drift over to Boiling Pot. 3 waves took me to main beach-did that 3 times before running out of steam.
Had the weekend off to recuperate.
This morning the current was almost gone. 6 hours in the water, didn`t get a lot of waves but got 1 cracker from Boiling Pot to First Point.
350-400yards i`d say, got dropped in on twice, one section closed out on me and got barrelled 5 times on the one wave.

The wave was only 2-3ft but kept walling up

If there is still swell tommorrow i`ll be at Noosa with a camera on the front of my board. Swell dropping quickly.
